ANNA Money was founded in 2018 by Eduard Panteleev (Linkedin), Boris Diakonov (Linkedin), Nikita Filippov (Linkedin) and Slava Akulov (Linkedin).

Two major investors in FinTech were, or according to the company’s own statements, the 2 Russian billionaires, Mikhail Fridman and Petr Aven, who are close to Vladimir Putin.

According to the company’s founders, the founding team has acquired all the shares that the two sanctioned oligarchs held in the FinTech, and the company is now back in the hands of the founders.

To be safe, we put ANNA on our “Orange Compliance” list, as we cannot say exactly how deeply the company is or is still involved in Russian affairs.
