Backed by existing investors including Tiger Global and Sequoia Capital, Getir will now add a number of global, blue-chip investors including Silver Lake, DisruptAD, and Mubadala Investment Company as well as a large, diversified asset manager on the West Coast. This marks Getir's third round of investment in 2021, with nearly $1bn raised since the beginning of the year. Getir will utilize the latest capital injection to fuel its expansion into the United States.

Following a hugely successful international launch in London in January and starting its operations in Amsterdam in May, Getir is stepping up its European operations with couriers set to hit the road in Paris and Berlin in the next few weeks. Several cities in the US are on the roster to follow by Q4 this year as Getir expands into the United States. This will see Getir operating in six countries, further establishing them as not only the creators of the ultrafast grocery delivery category, but also the benchmark brand in the industry.

"Our model and approach to ultrafast delivery is thriving and this latest round of funding further enables us to deliver our best-in-class service to new customers in Europe, the United States and beyond. There is great appetite for Getir and rapid grocery delivery. As the pioneers of the market, we continue to stand out by constantly innovating to provide the industry standard." says Nazim Salur, Founder of Getir.

  • Analysis: A 'tsunami' of cash is driving rates ever lower. What will the Fed do?

    Nowhere is this more evident than in the rising popularity of a Federal Reserve program that lets firms stash their cash overnight with the U.S. central bank in exchange for at best a small return. But usage is soaring to record highs as money market funds and other eligible firms cope with what some analysts are calling a "tsunami" of cash. The banking system is swimming in nearly $4 trillion of reserves, thanks in part to the Fed's asset purchases, a fall off in Treasury bill issuance and a rapid drawdown in the government's store of funds at the Fed. The Treasury General Account, or TGA, has dropped by nearly $1 trillion since last fall, mirrored by the surge in bank reserves.
