Ivan Ashminov has cause for celebration. His saving and investment platform Trading 212 has just passed a landmark £25bn worth of client assets under administration. Not that Ashminov, 45, the co-founder and chair, is in the mood to crack open the bubbly and take it easy – he is too determined and focused for that.
The rise of his fintech company is remarkable. Trading 212 now serves 4.5 million customers globally, including 3 million in the UK – more than the long-established UK industry players combined. It is by some margin the fastest-growing such site in the UK, a genuine disruptor.
