The death of fintech is greatly exaggerated. Following a number of recent fintech IPOs, we have a quarterly window into how quality fintech scaleups are maturing, alongside those we’ve backed at LocalGlobe/Latitude.

Fintech is a core area of the European tech ecosystem and our portfolio. At LocalGlobe and Latitude, we’ve been fortunate to invest in companies including Wise, Monzo Bank, Rapyd, Copper.co, Robinhood, Justworks, Melio, Zego, Raisin, Riskified, Tide and At-Bay, as well as many others.
