Fantastic to get this recognition for our #SettlementFabric technology. The technology promises to change the #crossborder landscape, settling wholesale FIAT #PvP with central bank backed funds, removing #settlementrisk and allowing the immediate delivery of #crossborderpayments 24x7x365. #SettlementFabric does this by making assets interoperable, and the participants that connect to settlement fabric. So don't think the tech is just for FIAT, we have run successful PoC settling FIAT vs CBDC and other digital assets..... I should also mention, no need for a single universal ledger either, so data remains sovereign in your local jurisdiction, removing regulatory challeneges and provision challenges... #settlementfabric #banking #infrastructure #thefutureisnow

#Monzo's Strategic Evolution: A Deeper Look into #MonzoInvestments! Monzo, valued at a staggering $4.5 billion and one of the flagbearers of #DigitalBanking, is set to redefine investment accessibility with its latest offering, "Investments." This transformative move democratizes investing, making it accessible from as little as £1. At C-Innovation, we've closely tracked Monzo Bank's evolution, particularly their pivotal "Pots" feature. In early 2022, there were hints of Monzo venturing into investment domain. The signs were evident when they started looking for a key leader for their investments and wealth division, set to offer a platform for retail investors, including stocks and potentially crypto trading (one of the potential opportunities of a possible merger with Lunar). Monzo Investments, curated meticulously with three distinctive funds by BlackRock – Careful, Balanced, and Adventurous – is tailored to align with diverse risk appetites. TS Anil, Monzo's CEO, leads a vision aimed at dismantling the traditional complexities and obstacles associated with investing. His vision foresees a future where accessibility, knowledge, and customization become the standard rather than privileges. A recent #YouGov survey underlines this, revealing a whopping 69% of the UK public is on the lookout for a user-centric investment platform. Furthermore, 60% are inclined to kickstart their investment journey with minimal capital. With this launch, Monzo strengthens its position in digital banking and investments while showcasing its commitment to innovation, evident in its two-month profitability streak in 2023. Remember, Monzo Investments isn't a mere investment tool; it's a gateway to empower customers, enabling informed and strategic financial choices within the broader Monzo ecosystem.  Dive deeper into Monzo's visionary journey with our comprehensive deep-dive, a testament to our analytical prowess:  https://lnkd.in/eB98q3Pv. #MonzoInnovates #DigitalBankingRevolution #InvestingMadeEasy #FinancialEmpowerment #FinTechLeadership #InnovationInBanking #AccessibleInvesting #SmartFinancialChoices #FinanceEvolution #InvestmentOpportunities #DigitalBankingTrends #AccessibleFinance #SmartInvestments

Why European Fintechs, and Monzo Bank, shouldn't take on the LatAm market? How is Nubank better than the rest of the banks? Is this an overstatement and if not, is it only valid on Nubank's territory? Where are we standing as European #Fintech innovators on the global map? These are expansive and yet-to-be-explored questions but nevertheless worth asking during the #NordicFintechSummit and here - at the #HelsinkiFintech Farm. To warm up for May 16 in Helsinki, we're going to ask our Resident Keynote Speaker - Linas Beliūnas: How does high customer satisfaction rate take precedence over the relatively high interest rates in Brazil? Is it really satisfaction, or is it a bubble? ---- ⌛ Join us at the Nordic Fintech Summit on May 16 in Helsinki, Finland! 🔗 For tickets, agenda and partnerships - link in the comments. #DigitalBanking #DigitalPayments

With the recent Annual Report 2023 of Monzo Bank and Starling Bank and the financials 2023 disclosed in recent interviews by Revolut management, I started to prepare the 2024 edition of the UK Fintech Top 50 Private Companies Report. The picture emerging is the increasing dominance of Monzo Bank, Revolut and Starling in the sector, with the 3 players representing around 50% of the total revenues of the sector (total revenues of the top 50 companies: £5.9bn). The top 10 fintech companies by revenues are also enjoying a strong profitability, with an average EBITDA margin of 17%, and OakNorth being the best practice with an impressive 64% EBITDA Margin. With the exclusion of Checkout, all the top 10 companies by revenues are now profitable. The increase in profitability is related to the scale reached by the big players, with an average revenues growth rate 2023 vs 2022 of 51% (Monzo Bank and Ebury best practice with a growth rate of 119% and 85%). Initial preview of the performance of top 10 players attached, with the full report coming soon.

Money20/20 is just around the corner, and the Xpollens team and I couldn't be more excited! This event is a highlight for engaging with key players in the ecosystem and promises yet again brilliant connections. 🤝 One key trend we're keen to discuss is the rapid emergence of automated and real-time payment flows (In and Out). These advancements are revolutionizing numerous use cases, such as: ✔️ Insurance, Property Management and Large Remitters: Actors with recurring payments can significantly reduce the risk of unpaid invoices through real-time, automated reminders and debt collections. ✔️ Retail, Insurance and Gambling: These sectors can now easily automate and execute real-time transfers for customer refunds, compensations, and disbursements. ✔️ Finance Departments: Virtual IBANs are becoming crucial for real-time tracking of incoming payments and optimizing customer data. Can you think of other applications? Join us for insightful sessions, deep dives, and a coffee or two☕... Exciting developments are on the horizon!

Some of my teams have been doing a lot of work recently on challenger banks, their challenges around growth, and what makes for a scalable customer experience. Reports suggest Monzo is expanding its current fundraising round to £500m. But will this round of fundraising signal a new direction for Monzo? On the one hand, this fundraising round represents an opportunity to continue its market share battle with the UK’s incumbent banks, leaning into its competitive advantage as a user-centric, digital-first bank. It should fuel Monzo’s second attempt at US expansion — a significant boost to those product managers and designers from the UK and US who have been entrusted with Americanising the Monzo proposition 🇺🇸 On the other hand, investors and executives will be wary of an IPO that is almost certainly just around the corner. If the bank prioritises maximising profitability, there is a good chance we could see the app offerings and, significantly, customer experience change dramatically. As Monzo enters this transformative phase, it will be fascinating to see how it balances growth ambitions with the quality of service customers have come to expect. #Monzo #Fintech #DigitalBanking #CustomerExperience
