London’s secret stall: What’s REALLY holding back the city’s biggest move—and why it’s your opportunity to strike now!
Ziglu was the brainchild of Mark Hipperson, a co-founder of already-successful startup Starling Bank. Its customer count was quadrupling year-over-year by 2021. Even after crypto retraced thereafter, an acquisition of Ziglu was agreed with the US fintech giant Robin Hood.
Alas the takeover collapsed following the 2022 downturn. And so here we are.
Talking of Robin Hood, that 12-year old company is now valued at $93bn!
Sadly the UK equivalent – Freetrade – was sold to IG Group for £160m in January.
A reach for the stars
Perhaps it’s not surprising that the UK fintech winners – including the self same Starling, incidentally – are mulling US stock market listings. It would be yet another blow for UK markets.
