In effect it sets any licensed crowdlending platform on par with banks as fully regulated and recognised credit institutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ecrowdinvest.com\/en\">ECrowd!<\/a>, the young, Barcelona based company is amongst the very first platforms to obtain the official license from the CNMV. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cThis is obviously a very important step for us\u201d acknowledged Matthieu van Haperen, CEO of ECrowd! \u201cas it validates the thoroughness of the processes we have put in place within ECrowd! to fully comply with the regulation and being able to continue to operate as an authorised entity.\u00bb<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He added: \u00abHowever, at least as important as the stamp of approval given by the authorities, is the fact that <strong>we can now demonstrate to all our existing and future clients that we operate in a fully regulated environment.<\/strong> When it comes to investments, trust is paramount for all parties. In this aspect, the licensing process is absolutely essential to the healthy growth of our industry.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jordi Sol\u00e9 Muntada, COO of ECrowd!, added: <strong>\u201cThe obtention of the license marks yet another momentous achievement for ECrowd! in what has been a very exciting and growth fuelled year so far.
