The founder of UK-based Curve said the fintech company is on its way to be profitable after its most recent financial report demonstrated a significant rise in revenue.
The London-headquartered fintech company is the creator of an app that combines its users’ bank cards into one. Curve is backed by banking giant Santander’s venture capital arm, Santander Ventures.
Curve reported revenue of £45m for the year ended December 2022, a four fold increase over a reported £10.7m from 2021.
In an interview with Tech.EU, Curve founder Shachar Bialick said the company had made “substantial improvements in Q4 as all margins turned positive in the second half of the year.”
“Since then, it has continued to improve on this trajectory,” he added.
Curve recently announced an additional £58m in Series C funding, which brought its total funding to over £133m.
