Investment info firm moves HQ to Jersey

Friday 11 January 2019

A 'fintech' company, which aims to offer investors convenient access to accurate information regarding their investments, has decided to set up its HQ in Jersey.

SharesInside was founded in Switzerland in 2016, and says it is guaranteed to be free from any manipulation or screening, and is designed to act as a global directory of investment opportunities available on your mobile handset.

The firm says that while website usage has decreased dramatically over the last two years, smartphone and multimedia usage has taken a quantum leap. As users of mobile tech are spending 89% of their time via apps, they say logical progression has led companies to embrace financial technology.

Dave Hannam, co-founder and Head of Business Development (pictured), commented: "Due to the better business environment, access to the UK markets and quality of life for staff we are happy to re-locate our HQ to St. Helier. With the new internet connection planned and assistance from Digital Jersey it has been an easy decision to make!

"We believe 2019 will be a great year for us as we expand into new regions (just opened our 8th office in Singapore for far east) and new products to be released to market (Online Voting and Corporate Actions solutions) we will need to hire a team of marketing, sales and administration professionals to join the team."
