The Company

Monzo was founded in London in 2015 and has grown into one of the UK's largest digital banks, with 15.2 million customers. Its latest annual results showed revenue of about $2.3 billion, up 39%, and statutory pre-tax profit of about $118 million. Diana Layfield became CEO in October 2025.

Monzo was last valued at $6.0 billion in an October 2024 employee share sale. In September 2026 Sky News and Bloomberg reported that Brazil's Nubank was in talks to buy Monzo for $10.8–13.5 billion, roughly double that valuation.

Why It Matters

Monzo is the UK's most prominent fintech, and a Nubank deal would be one of the largest fintech acquisitions and a benchmark for neobank valuations.
