It was the summer of 2016 and Alex Latham was at Glastonbury Festival when someone began raving about their hot pink Monzo card.

“I knew that if someone was showing off a bank card at Glastonbury, this ‘fintech thing’ was going to be big,” he remembers. “The UK fintech scene was in its infancy, but I knew it was going to boom, so I wanted to get in early.”
