Digital banking platform Shawbrook has confirmed it is considering an initial public offering (IPO) on the London Stock Exchange following last week’s rumours of an IPO.
The Brentwood-based company intends to publish a registration document and is exploring an application for its shares to be admitted to the FCA’s Official List and to trading on the Main Market.
It uploaded a statement to the stock exchange today after it was reported that it was considering going public with an anticipated valuation of around £2 billion.
The Pollen Street Capital-owned FinTech’s flotation would be one of London’s biggest in recent history and there are hopes that, if the move is successful, it could open the floodgates to a batch of new listing candidates.
Founded to serve parts of the economy underserved by traditional banks, the business has grown rapidly over the past decade, combining technology-driven efficiency with specialist lending expertise.
Its loan book has expanded from £1.4bn in 2013 to £17bn by June 2025, while maintaining a 30% compound annual growth rate in profit before tax.
