bunq is one of Europe’s leading neobanks, built for digital nomads and expats, and now expanding into the US.
Black Unicorn PR partnered with bunq over roughly a year as their international PR partner, supporting a pivotal chapter in the company’s growth. We anchored sustained media momentum around bunq’s US regulatory journey, built distinct thought leadership profiles for three executives (CEO Ali Niknam, CSO Bianca Zwart, and Chief Evangelist Joe Wilson), and used on-the-ground event presence to open doors that email outreach alone couldn’t. The result was consistent tier 1 coverage across global business and broadcast media, from Reuters and CNBC to Fortune and the BBC.
bunq’s path to becoming Europe’s most-loved neobank — now valued at $8 billion — was explored in depth on the Fintech Blueprint podcast.
“Black Unicorn PR brought real fintech expertise to the table from day one. They understood our space, moved fast, and consistently delivered. From securing tier 1 coverage in Reuters, CNBC and more to building executive visibility through BBC and Fortune. Their media network is genuinely impressive, and their ability to adapt to shifting priorities made them feel like an extension of our in-house team. I’d recommend BUPR to any fast-moving fintech looking for a PR partner that can keep up.”
We work with ambitious B2B startups and scaleups across Europe to help them gain trust, credibility, and exposure
