• The value of customer trades for February increased to US$1.6 billion

Mr. Ehrlich continued, "With recently completed capital raises of over US$146 million, our balance sheet is stronger than ever. We are excited to see a rapidly growing group of investors utilizing our platform and look forward to delivering value to all our stakeholders.  We intend to deploy capital to accelerate our growth through strategic marketing initiatives, further development of our technology infrastructure, and building staff across all departments to position Voyager as the go to digital financial services firm of the future." 

As part of the scaling of its management team, the Company recently added David Brosgol as General Counsel, Dan Costantino as Chief Information Security Officer, and Jamie Cabezas to lead Voyager's HR effort.

Complementing this, Voyager will look to grow internationally by expanding into Canada and Europe.
