Freedom24 to open office in Bucharest

Business Forum
Freedom24, the European broker connecting retail investors to international exchanges, expanded its Romanian client base by 9% to over 4,300 investors in 2025.

Building on this growth, the broker plans to open a new office in Bucharest in 2026 to strengthen its CEE presence.

Last year, Romanian investors favoured technology, transportation, retail and defence company stocks, alongside ETFs tracking the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 indices, emerging markets and eurozone-focused bond ETFs, according to the broker.

"The Romanian market has shown strong growth dynamics and a growing appetite for digital investment products. Our planned office in Bucharest will include local customer support teams and professional relationship managers, offering direct and personalised assistance to clients," said Olga Milko, EU Regional Director at Freedom24.

Freedom24 opened its second flagship office in Limassol and a new Vilnius office serving as the Baltic region development hub. The broker now operates 10 European offices serving over 500,000 clients with access to over 1 million instruments. S&P Global Ratings revised Freedom Finance Europe's outlook from stable to positive, while parent company Freedom Holding Corp. reached €11 billion market capitalisation and joined the Russell 3000 Index.
