“The year 2020 was exceptional in every aspect of life. It was a challenging time. At the same time, the year was very interesting. We have achieved a great result, but that does not mean that those results have come by themselves. Seeking the best result, we put a lot of effort together with the team. Last year, together with our business partners, we reviewed business processes and risk management processes. Our close and open cooperation with partners has ensured stability and smooth operation in crisis conditions. Once again, I thank our investors for their partnership and trust in us” – says Arūnas Lekavičius, CEO of PeerBerry.

“Our main priorities this year are to complete the regulatory process and obtain an IBF license. Together with our business partners, we will continue ensuring the quality of our services and full protection for our investors. We will further improve our platform and offer our investors new products and investment opportunities” – notes A. Lekavičius.
