At Holland Fintech, we are all blown away by the threat and act of war that has hit Ukraine and Europe. With members from across Europe and team members from a.o. Ukraine and Russia, we feel the hurt it brings to all parties involved.
There are no words to explain the unnecessary harm this brings to the people from Ukraine, the people from Russia, and everyone else who is working hard to support refugees or are just worried about what comes next. We hope all armed forces will stop fighting and that peace can be restored as soon as possible in Ukraine and beyond.
As many initiatives have started to support Ukrainian refugees, like from our members bunq and Intellias, we list the ones here we know about, for you to choose how you can make an impact and support the people in need.
