“This new financing will support the acceleration of our plans to extend our penetration of the UK market to new customer segments.”

Harry Briggs, Managing Partner for Omers Ventures in London, said: “The Flagstone team impressed us from the start.

“The founders know this market inside out and have quietly built the runaway market-leader in the UK by addressing systemic issues in the banking system by using smart technology to help empower users to earn more interest income and reduce risk.

“In these uncertain times, everyone – households, small businesses, charities – is anxious about cash, and Flagstone helps people make their money work harder for them at the click of a button. We are very much looking forward to working with the team.”
