Griffin Bank in the UK has completed a $20 million Series B financing and will expand its card issuance and stablecoin business in the future

British bank Griffin has completed a $20 million Series B financing round, led by Octagon Partners, with participation from Notion Capital, A+ Ventures, Nordic Ninja, Breega, and others. The company's valuation exceeds $100 million, though it has not disclosed whether this is pre-money or post-money valuation. Griffin stated that the funds from this round will be used to drive business expansion and achieve profitability.

Griffin was founded in 2017 by former Airbnb employee David Jarvis and CircleC co-founder Allen Rohner, and it obtained a full banking license in 2024 and officially launched. Currently, Griffin provides banking infrastructure services to over 80 companies, including Uber, Countingup, Anna Money, Yonder, and Prosper. The company serves over 300,000 retail and business customers, processing approximately 10 million payments annually. As of September 2026, its recurring revenue has increased 3.2 times year-on-year, a figure that has not yet been audited.

Griffin co-founder and CEO David Jarvis stated that the company will expand its card issuance and stablecoin business: the card issuance business will support branded retail and corporate debit cards, with credit card products to be launched later; in terms of stablecoins, the company is developing reserve-related services for enterprises and advancing on-chain cross-border payment solutions.
