We couldn't be prouder to introduce PΔke KΔ to the world π Here's to the start of financial education on your terms.
George has been interning with us at Banqer over his uni holidays. Sadly, he heads home next week π’. Before he goes, he decided to share a few thoughts with us in a blog. We will miss you George! Come back and work with us soon yeah?
Missed the β΅οΈ when it comes to investing?
Our 16 year old Banqer intern, Jordy, tried his hand at learning a thing or two about it over summer. Here's part one of his findings!
