Griffin, the UK bank for fintechs and platforms, raised a $20 million Series B led by Octagon Partners at a valuation above $100 million, the London-based bank said on November 12, 2026. Notion Capital, A+ Ventures, Nordic Ninja and Breega also invested.
Why it matters: Griffin will let its clients launch branded retail and corporate debit cards, with a credit card to follow, and is building stablecoin reserve services and on-chain cross-border payments. More than 80 companies, including Uber, Countingup and Anna Money, use its embedded banking and clearing platform, which serves over 300,000 end customers and processes nearly 10 million payments a year.
