Last year The Europas Awards for European Tech Startups was held at a sunny garden party next to a historic museum in London.

The company, in a statement today filed with the SEC, said that it would not contest Nasdaq’s decision to delist the company after having received two notifications in recent weeks of the stock exchange’s desire...

June 23, 2020

Zopa, the 15-year-old peer-to-peer lending company, is announcing that it has been awarded its full U.K. bank licence, as it gears up to launch a fixed-term savings account, followed by a credit card. Dubbed “Zopa Bank,” the new challenger bank will sit alongside its existing peer-to-peer lending business, under Zopa Group, creating what the veteran fintech previously described as the first hybrid peer-to-peer and digital bank offering.

Plaid’s Zach Perret: ‘Every company is a...

June 23, 2020

The fintech revolution is just getting started. At least that’s the impression we got after a conversation with Plaid co-founder Zach Perret. He appeared on Extra Crunch Live last week to talk about his company’s announced exit to Visa and the larger fintech landscape. Perret and Plaid announced a deal to sell the company to Visa earlier this year for $5.3 billion, a transaction that highlighted the company’s central position in the fintech world. Plaid provides APIs that link consumer...

Amidst Robinhood’s planned service changes, a tension...

June 23, 2020

Robinhood’s growth as an ultra low-cost way to invest has shaken up fintech. Fueled by hundreds of millions of external cash, the no-fee trading platform has forced domestic competitors to slash their fees, spawned international competition, and, in the eyes of some, helped propel the recent equities boom. The company’s success in driving growth has led to surging revenues. As The Block recently reported, some Robinhood filings (here and here) show that the company earned “nearly $100 million in...

June 23, 2020

German police have arrested Markus Braun, the former chief executive of the Munich-based fintech company Wirecard, for fraud, prosecutors in Munich said on Tuesday. Braun turned himself into German authorities on the same day Wirecard admitted that $2.1 billion the company had reported on its balance sheet did not exist. He has since been released on €5 million bail. That revelation came three days after Braun resigned as the chief executive of the company he led for more than...

Fintech’s savings and investing boom isn’t just...

June 18, 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted consumer and corporate behavior across the board. Some changes were obvious and quick, like cuts to business travel leading to layoffs at companies that served that space. Other changes have been more surprising. One such new trend has been rising interest in savings and investing applications, the type of service fintech startups offer consumers. TechCrunch has covered this trend, noting a number of American fintech and finservices seeing hugely rising user activity and revenue. Robinhood,...
