Lunar recently launched its new banking service in March after acquiring its banking license in 2019 and the banking group offers free accounts and a subscription-based service called Lunar Premium. Lunar shared with TechCrunch habit is planning to launch new financial products such as credit facilities, loans, and sustainability-driven services. Speaking about the investment round, Ken Villum Klausen, CEO and Founder of Lunar shared with the media outlet that he and his team are pleased about the results of the funding round and to bolster Lunar’s “pan-Nordic” play.

Lunar will use the funding to continue the growth and expansion of its digital banking platform. The company added that Ole Mahrt, Monzo’s former head of product, will also be joining its board of directors.
