The insolvency is the latest move made by the German firm amid the recent market downturn. In late May, the company laid off 20% of its employees.

Nuri has raised €42.3 million ($43.2 million) in funding over eight funding rounds to date, according to Crunchbase.

But Nuri replied, asking the user to DM for assistance. So maybe they are just insolvent / cash-flow wise, but customers did not lose access to their balances or the ability to transact.
