Switzerland-based Etops Group AG and Germany-based niiio finance group AG are both backed by private equity firm Pollen Street Capital.
Together they form a WealthTech powerhouse that serves over 550 clients in the entire financial services industry, including banks, wealth and asset managers, financial advisors, and insurance firms throughout Switzerland, Germany, and other European markets with a headcount of over 250 dedicated staff. They now demonstrate their unity through a homogeneous market presence.
The decision to align under the Etops brand reflects the group’s commitment to delivering comprehensive, innovative solutions across the wealth and asset management value chain. By streamlining their market presence, the companies aim to provide clients with a seamless and integrated experience, amplifying their impact across Europe.
As part of this strategic alignment, Pius Stucki, founder and CEO of Etops Group AG, has been additionally named CEO of niiio finance group AG in December 2024. Now the common brand is further solidifying the partnership between the two industry leaders. Stucki shared: «This milestone marks the next chapter in our strategic partnership. By aligning the brands of Etops and niiio, we’re not only strengthening our market presence but also enhancing the value we deliver to our clients. Together, we’re setting a new standard for WealthTech in Europe.»

This alignment ensures we deliver client-centric, cutting-edge solutions while leveraging the combined expertise of our teams to expand our reach across Europe. With a unified presence, we’re driving innovation and growth under a unified brand.»
While the unified brand enhances market visibility and client experience, both Etops Group AG and niiio finance group AG will retain their corporate structures. This ensures operational continuity while maximizing the benefits of a shared brand identity.
