Griffin, a London-based Banking as a Service (BaaS) startup, has successfully raised $24 million in a Series A extension round, following a $13.5 million Series A in June 2023, as reported by TechCrunch and @mikebutcher. This funding round, with contributions from MMVglobal, NordicNinjaVC, BreegaVC, NotionCapital, and eqtventures, has enabled Griffin to secure a full banking license, making it the UK's first fully licensed BaaS platform. The startup offers an API-driven platform aimed at simplifying banking services for its customers. The achievement of obtaining a full banking license has been highlighted as a significant milestone, given the complexities involved in the process. Griffin's funding and licensing success positions it as a notable player in the fintech sector, with the potential to disrupt traditional banking services.
