Trading 212 to create 40 jobs and establish Dublin-based European hub. 24 Jun 2026 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.

Trading 212 product chief Sergei Riabov departs after six months. * May 29, 2026 2 Mins Read Sergei Riabov, the former Head of Product at Trading 212, has left the broker after just six months in the role. The executive announced his departure in a LinkedIn post on Thursday, describing the move as an opportunity to focus full-time on developments in the artificial intelligence sector. "I'm mind-blown by how fast AI has moved these past months," Riabov said. "Enough that I want to step out and focus on it fully." Riabov joined Trading 212 in December last year from Revolut. At the time, he said he was attracted by the company's product-led culture and the opportunity to work on a platform used by millions of retail investors. In his departure announcement, Riabov said the company had made significant progress during his tenure, citing the launch of new products, platform improvements, and what he described as major advances in AI-related initiatives. "The environment is rare," he said. "The pace the company moves at, the depth of data, and teams genuinely open to learning and taking on hard challenges." Riabov did not announce a new role but said he plans to focus on understanding how the AI industry is evolving and identifying areas where he can make a longer-term commitment. He added that he would continue advisory work alongside those efforts.
