Trading 212 is experiencing a leadership transition as Chairman Andrew Bole steps down from his role. His resignation, announced by the UK Companies House today (Thursday), marks the end of a four-and-a-half-year tenure at the retail online broker.

Veteran Industry Leader Bids Farewell

Bole has been the Non-Executive Chairman of Trading 212 since 2020, overseeing its growth in multiple international markets. Before joining the company, he built a strong reputation in the financial industry, holding key leadership roles across various firms.

According to his LinkedIn profile, Bole was the Chief Risk Officer at IG Group for nearly fifteen years. His other notable experience includes serving as the Non-Executive Chair of the Remuneration Committee at Britannia Global Markets Limited. Currently, he is the managing director of Operations UK regulatory consulting at ACA Group.

He previously served as Chief Risk Officer at IG Group for 15 years and later held executive roles at GPP Group and Schroders Personal Wealth. His extensive experience in brokerage and risk management made him a notable figure in the sector.

Bole’s departure from Trading 212 follows his recent exit from Britannia Global Markets Limited, where he also served as non-executive Chairman. The timing of his resignation from both firms suggests a broader shift in his professional focus.

Expanding Services Globally

Trading 212’s Future Under New LeadershipTrading 212, controlled by Bulgarian entrepreneurs Borislav Nedialkov and Ivan Ashminov, has expanded its presence across key financial markets, operating licensed subsidiaries in the UK, Australia, Germany, Bulgaria, and Cyprus. Day-to-day operations reportedly remain under the leadership of CEO Mukid Chowdhury, based in London.

Meanwhile, Trading 212 collaborated with Marqeta early this year to introduce its debit card in 20 countries across continental Europe. “We’re aiming to make the stock market more accessible, giving over 3 million customers in the UK and Europe access to investment opportunities that were not easily accessible before,” said Chowdhury.

The launch came a year after Trading 212 debuted its debit card in the UK market. The card reportedly offers European customers zero FX and account fees and a 0.5% cashback reward on spending.
