Revolutionary Step: Fintech Bling Launches Supervisory Board for Educational Content and Product Development
Bling, the first family-fintech in Europe, establishes a supervisory board consisting of renowned experts in financial education. The aim of the supervisory board is to ensure the quality of existing and new functions and to incorporate educationally valuable content and ideas more strongly into product development. “When putting together our supervisory board, it was particularly important for us to find selective and experienced professionals with great enthusiasm for family-banking. With our current members, we succeeded perfectly!” Nils Feigenwinter, Co-Founder & CEO of Bling.
Since the summer of 2022, Bling has offered a family banking solution where children can gain independence by learning financial responsibility through educational content and their own payment card. The concept is well-received by users, with tens of thousands of families using Bling’s services and many children using a Bling card as their first personal payment experience, all within the first 12 months after launching.Due to its successful launch, the family-fintech Bling was able to raise several million euros in a seed financing round as recently as December 2022. The lead investors are Peak and La Famiglia, both known from earlier investments in consumer and fintech companies.
Coined the “Fintech Wunderkind” by TechCrunch, Nils Feigenwinter founded Bling at only 20. As he has no educational background himself, he relies heavily on business angels and advisors who are parents and educators themselves to support Bling’s development. The new committee will further strengthen the expertise in both product and education. “We will not implement any function without the approval of our supervisory board,” says Nils Feigenwinter, Co-Founder and CEO of Bling.
