Vantage partners UNHCR for global fundraising activity for refugees, matches donations dollar-for-dollar
Vantage, an international multi-asset broker, is pleased to announce that it is launching a month-long donation drive in support of UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, to help refugees and internally displaced persons worldwide.
Vantage will be matching all donations from both new and existing clients, dollar for dollar, to support humanitarian efforts undertaken by UNHCR. The donation drive will run for one month until 30 August and may be extended based on client feedback.
UNHCR is a global organisation that has spent the last 70 years dedicated to saving lives, protecting rights and building a better future for refugees. Vantage and UNHCR jointly believe that everyone has the right to seek asylum and find safe refuge.
According to UNHCR, the number of people forced to flee conflict, violence, human rights violations, and persecution has now crossed the staggering milestone of 100 million for the first time on record, highlighting worldwide food insecurity, the climate crisis, war in Ukraine and other emergencies from Africa to Afghanistan as leading causes.
Ann Moey, Partnerships Manager at UNHCR says, “International solidarity is needed now more than ever, and all sectors of society can do their bit to help. Support from private sector partners like Vantage helps us inject vital energy into our humanitarian efforts, and allows us to deliver more assistance to vulnerable, displaced communities worldwide.”
The fundraising initiative is another step forward in Vantage’s corporate ESG journey, which was driven by the collective desire among its staff to make the world a better place. This donation drive follows closely after Vantage’s partnership with Supercar Blondie in participating in the Blue Carbon ESG initiative in Sardinia, Italy, as well as its multi-year sponsorship of the McLaren MX Extreme E team.
Sofiia Starchevska, ESG Ambassador at Vantage, said, “It’s infinitely more empowering and motivating knowing that your actions are one of many. It’s easier to see the power of collective, as opposed to individual, action, and this is what we want to achieve with this fundraising activity.”
“At Vantage, we know that the mental, emotional, and physical trauma of being displaced and having to rebuild in a strange land is a massive challenge, and we hope our initiative will double our support for refugees to seek protection and enable them to rebuild their lives. Together with UNHCR, we hope to make care our shared currency.”

Pliant, a Berlin-based B2B credit card fintech, has secured over €18 million in a Series A extension, pushing the total funding for this round beyond €50 million.
PayPal Ventures led the latest investment round, with participation from existing investors Alstin Capital, SBI Investment, and Motive Ventures.
Earlier this year, Pliant raised €28 million through its initial Series A funding round. With this new injection of capital, the company is set to expand its cards-as-a-service (CaaS) product into markets outside the European Union, with a focus on the UK.
To facilitate its expansion plans, Pliant has developed multi-currency capabilities, allowing it to offer services in 11 different currencies. This enhancement enables customers to receive invoices in the same currency used for the transaction, a feature particularly beneficial for businesses dealing with significant volumes in non-EUR currencies.
Pliant attributes this funding success to its strong performance in 2023, where it doubled its annual revenues.
Additionally, the fintech has broadened its reach by extending its Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license to cover 25 countries across the European Economic Area (EEA). This expansion allows Pliant to offer financial services beyond card issuance in the region.
