...To feature on every FinTech50

Currency Cloud (then “The Currency Cloud”) founded by Nigel Verdon featured on the first FinTech50 (in 2013), again in 2014 and 2015, before being admitted to The Hall of Fame in 2016.

This year Nigel’s latest initiative, Railsbank, clocked its third successive year on the 50. See p40.

This makes Nigel the only founder to feature on The 50 every year since launch.

In March 2020 Railsbank launched their response to Covid-10, Lightning Aid, to enable Government departments, NGOs and community groups to distribute financial support directly to those in need.
