From Dublin, the company will support core regulated activities across risk, compliance, trading, operations and technology.

Trading 212, a European online investment platform, is set to open a new European hub based out of Dublin, a move that will generate 40 jobs over the course of the next three years. The expansion will enable the Dublin location to support Trading 212’s core activities across risk, compliance, trading, operations and technology. 

Headquartered in London, Trading 212 was established in 2004 and employs more than 750 people globally, with a client base in the UK, EU, Australia and other international markets. The Dublin office, located at Sobo Works, Windmill Lane, will serve as a strategic EU regulatory and capital markets hub within the company’s post-Brexit multi-hub operating model.

The future roles will include specialist positions across trading, risk, compliance, finance, technology and operations. The new team will play a critical role in delivering and supporting a multi-asset execution function and strengthening Trading 212’s European regulatory operations and governance capabilities.

Commenting on the announcement, Michael Byrne, the CEO of Trading 212 Ireland, said: “Dublin is central to Trading 212’s international growth. As our hub for equity, ETF and CFD execution, Ireland gives us world-class regulatory infrastructure, deep talent and a position bridging Europe’s two most important financial markets.”

Michael Lohan, the CEO of IDA Ireland added: “Ireland has built a thriving ecosystem for financial services and technology companies, underpinned by a highly skilled workforce and a culture of innovation. Trading 212’s decision to invest here further strengthens our fintech cluster and highlights our competitive offering internationally.” 

Late last week, Future Cast – an innovation, education and R&D nonprofit focused on the construction and quarrying industries – also announced a significant investment and job creation. The organisation has invested €3.25m into developing a 200-year old Co Leitrim church into a 10,000 sq ft centre for innovation, R&D and science.

The funds will also enable the creation of 15 new jobs over the coming years, with opportunities for jobseekers in concrete and material science, machine design, prototype development and specialist training.
