Seccl, the embedded investment platform owned by Octopus, has created an Irish subsidiary as it seeks to expand into the European market.
Ronan Gahan will lead the new Irish unit, Seccl Ireland DAC, as the chief executive.
The step follows demand from existing clients seeking to offer investment services outside the UK, noted the company.
Seccl's systems currently serve around one million investors in the UK.
The new Irish operation is intended to help extend that model into European markets, with local market knowledge and regulatory capability in place.
