Fortune Greece has published Freedom24's analysis of how Greek household savings fared between 2021 and 2025. Drawing on data from the Bank of Greece, the Athens Stock Exchange and the OECD, the analysis shows that the traditional strategy of "deposit safety" has come at a high price. With inflation peaking at 9.65% in 2022 and deposit rates barely moving, the cumulative real return on deposits over the five-year period reached -17%. In practical terms, €10,000 left in a bank account in 2021 had the purchasing power of just €8,200 by 2025. Greece remains one of the most conservative savings economies in the Eurozone, with 60% of household assets held in bank accounts and cash, a legacy the analysis attributes to the "collective trauma" of the 2009-2018 crisis years. The distribution of these savings also reveals deep inequality: 71% of savers keep less than €1,000 in their accounts, while just 0.8% of depositors control around 44% of total bank deposits. Although household wealth surpassed one trillion euros in 2025, much of this capital remains idle. George Karageorgos, Director of Freedom24 Greece tied agent of FFEU, outlines the strategy to follow: "A fundamental principle for every private investor in a volatile market is to avoid impulsive reactions and to remain calm. The essential protection of a portfolio is based on diversification and long-term planning. A transition from passive savings to systematic asset management is required, with the aim of shielding purchasing power." As the analysis concludes, the shift from a ‘passive saving’ mindset to an ‘active investing’ approach is emerging as the most effective path for Greek families who wish to protect their money and ensure their long-term financial stability. 🔗 Read the full analysis on Fortune Greece

Speaking as part of the 12th International Compliance Forum, Yury Anesyants, Director of Compliance at Freedom24, joined Cyprus Business News for an interview on how the compliance function has evolved and what is shaping its future. Drawing on fifteen years in the field, Yury sets out why compliance has moved from a function called in to answer specific questions into one embedded in every project from the start. 🛡 This year's Forum runs under the theme "Compliance Unbound 2026: Crime, Conduct & the New Rules of Risk" and brings together more than 420 delegates and 30 speakers from across the regulatory, industry and compliance communities. Its programme covers the major regulatory shifts reshaping European finance, from new anti-money-laundering rules and tighter sanctions enforcement to crypto oversight and digital operational resilience, all framed against what its organisers describe as Europe's "Big Compliance Reset". On AI, Yury describes a working architecture rather than a future promise. Freedom24 already operates AI at three levels: general-purpose tools used across the company, designated tools built specifically for the compliance department, and function-specific assistants for individual compliance specialisms such as source-of-funds verification and marketing screening. He cautions, however, that current systems still lack the consistency to remove human oversight from the process, which is why every AI-driven output continues to be checked by a person. Reflecting on how the role itself has changed, Yury frames the modern Director of Compliance as the connective tissue across an organisation, holding together specialised functions that no single expert can cover alone. As regulation, technology and enforcement converge, he argues, the position has been elevated by circumstance into something closer to a coordination seat than a purely advisory one: "The Director of Compliance is a new role. The job is to connect the parts that no single expert can hold together, and new circumstances are asking for an elevation of the role itself." 🎯 🔗 Watch the full interview in Cyprus Business News

Evgenii Tiapkin, Executive Director of Freedom24, spoke to Finance Magnates about how the company is evolving in Europe, where it sees the next structural shift in retail finance and why Freedom24’s compliance infrastructure has become a genuine competitive advantage. Evgenii explained that brokerage remains central to European business, with the company serving a large and growing base of retail investors across all EU/EEA states through its proprietary platform, Tradernet. He rejected both the neobroker and the legacy labels in favour of a hybrid model: "We combine the regulatory standards and market access of a traditional broker with a modern digital experience," he said, before summing up the approach in a single phrase: "I'd say this philosophy makes us a neo-traditional broker." Looking ahead, he confirmed the company is now actively exploring the possibility of obtaining a banking licence in Europe, framing banking as a critical infrastructure layer and an entry point to a broader financial and lifestyle ecosystem rather than creating another neobank. That ambition draws on the model Freedom has built in Central Asia. "The simplest way to think about the Freedom SuperApp is as a unified digital ecosystem that brings together financial and everyday services within a single platform," Evgenii explained, describing how banking, payments, investing, insurance and a range of lifestyle services come together through one application and one account. 🌱 On scaling without letting complexity outpace growth, Evgenii pointed to Neo Compliance, Freedom24's AI-driven compliance system that reviews source-of-funds documentation from more than 80 countries in minutes: "it is designed as a human-in-the-loop model, where AI does the analytical heavy lifting and compliance officers retain full decision authority." 🔗 Read more in Finance Magnates

Evgenii Tiapkin, Executive Director of Freedom24, the European division of Freedom Holding Corp., spoke to Kazakhstani news platform Kursiv Media on the sidelines of the Kazakhstan-Cyprus Business Forum, held during the visit of Cyprus President Nikos Christodoulides to Kazakhstan. The conversation covered ten years of building the business in Europe, plans for a European banking licence and the ambition to bring the full Freedom SuperApp experience to EU clients. Freedom Holding Corp. launched its European business in Cyprus just over ten years ago after obtaining a licence from the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission. Today it is represented across all 27 EU member states, with physical offices in ten countries and its retail investment platform Freedom24 serving European clients. 🌍 On what sets the model apart, Tiapkin pointed to the breadth of the ecosystem. "All these investments have come together to form one large ecosystem where you don't need to leave the platform at all to buy car tyres, insurance, stocks or pay for school. There is, in fact, nothing quite like this in Europe." The banking licence is central to that ambition. "A bank in this configuration is the lifeline that enables us to offer the full range of products we have within the holding company," Evgenii said. Because a European licence can be passported across all member states, a client in any EU country could open an account and use every product in the app. What Freedom is building in Europe is modelled on what already works in Kazakhstan. "Our big dream is to replicate all the types of services we currently have in the Freedom SuperApp in Kazakhstan," Tiapkin said. The aim is to take that proven model into the European Union and offer clients there the same range under one roof. Read the full interview in Kursiv Media

The Kazakhstan–Cyprus Business Forum, supported by Freedom Holding Corp., brought together President of Cyprus Nikos Christodoulides, Prime Minister of Kazakhstan Olzhas Bektenov, and more than 70 representatives of the business communities of both countries in Astana, as part of the first official visit of a Cypriot president to Kazakhstan. The plenary session was moderated by Timur Turlov, Founder and CEO of Freedom Holding Corp. and the only private-sector representative to address the forum alongside the heads of state and government. According to Turlov, stronger ties between the entrepreneurial communities of the two countries can create new opportunities for entrepreneurial initiatives, investment attraction, and broader economic cooperation. Discussions covered a wide range of sectors, from transport and logistics to financial services, digital technologies, food security, renewable energy and healthcare. Kazakhstan presented its investment infrastructure, including the Astana International Financial Centre, and a growing digital ecosystem built around the Alem.AI International Artificial Intelligence Centre, Astana Hub and new supercomputing capacity. 🏛 For Freedom Holding Corp., the forum carried particular significance, with a substantial part of the European team based in Cyprus and the group's banking and financial services already integrated into Kazakhstan's digital ecosystem. Evgenii Tiapkin, Executive Director at Freedom24, reflected on the opportunity ahead: "We see great potential in strengthening cooperation between Cyprus and Kazakhstan and are confident that the exchange of expertise, technology, and investment can create new opportunities for both countries and businesses." 🔗 Read more on our website

Dzmitry Marchanka, sales manager at Freedom24 Bulgaria, Tied agent of FFEU, joined Bloomberg TV Bulgaria to break down the European "Big Seven" and explain how the group differs structurally from its US counterpart. The seven names cover ASML, SAP, LVMH, Novo Nordisk, Siemens, TotalEnergies and UniCredit, spanning semiconductors, enterprise software, luxury, pharmaceuticals, industrials, energy and banking. 📊 Unlike the US Magnificent Seven, which is concentrated around AI exposure, the European group is built on sectoral breadth. Dzmitry pointed to first-quarter performance as evidence: LVMH was the only name in the group with negative year-on-year dynamics at around -6%, weighed down by the conflict in the Middle East and its impact on tourist spending, while the other six posted solid results. "Therefore, diversification for the European seven is a pretty good strategy from our point of view," he said.🌍 Asked why US markets continue to attract stronger retail flows than European ones, Dzmitry pointed to the structural complexity of investing in Europe, where the same asset can be listed on multiple venues in different currencies. "An asset that is traded in Europe can be traded both on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and on the London Stock Exchange, and accordingly currencies also have a great importance," he explained. "For people it is more complicated, whereas if we are talking about American companies, American stocks, people just go in, buy them in dollars. That is much easier." On the prospect of a consolidated pan-European exchange, his view was direct: "It would be good. It would really be much more convenient, but the question is whether it is possible." 🔗 Watch the full interview in Bloomberg TV Bulgaria

On 26 May, Timur Turlov, CEO of Freedom Holding Corp., a parent company of Freedom24, addressed MBA students at Stanford University in California. The session marked the first academic case study at the Stanford Graduate School of Business dedicated to the corporate strategy of a Central Asian company, with the teaching material taught as part of the curriculum on platform strategy and leadership in emerging markets. 🎓 Professor Howard Rosen framed Freedom Holding as a benchmark for studying product-market fit. Turlov told the audience that the group's individual businesses would not have been competitive on their own: "We're not just a holding company that owns everything. We consciously built Freedom as an ecosystem where each company's presence makes sense. Our SuperApp clearly demonstrated why we're competitive together, but not separately. Neither the bank nor the insurance companies could have survived or achieved significant success on their own." On international expansion, Turlov set out the group's view on the shift towards digital exports: "I think our technology export stories will definitely emerge. Just as everyone initially competed in the export of raw materials, and then in the export of manufactured goods, now everyone is competing in the export of digital products. The highest added value lies in the creation and exploitation of digital technologies." 🌍 The group is listed on Nasdaq and operates in more than 20 countries, with a growing European footprint anchored by Freedom24 in Cyprus and active retail operations across the EU. The inclusion in Stanford's curriculum is a marker of how far the group has come and a reference point for the next stage of its international growth. 🔗 Read more on our website

Piotr Baszak in Forsal.pl: unlocking capital and Europe’s investment future 🇵🇱 Piotr Baszak, Freedom24, joined the panel “Unleashing capital: what does Europe’s investment future look like?” at Impact’26 in Poznań. The discussion examined why European savings often fail to translate into greater investment activity on the continent, and what it would take to keep capital from flowing overseas 💬 Piotr drew attention to the importance of investment education, arguing that learning to invest should resemble gaining experience rather than absorbing theory alone. He pointed to technology as an equally decisive element of change, noting that the success of many new investment platforms stems less from the offer itself than from convenience and ease of use. Summing up where he sees the industry heading, he said: “Everything will be in one mobile application.” 📱 🔗 Read more on Forsal.pl
