Earlier in the year, Monument launched Monument Lifestyle which offers numerous services designed to save busy professionals, entrepreneurs and their families’ time in reaching their wealth creation potential.
Ian Rand, Monument’s chief executive officer, said: “We are pleased to have successfully completed the Series B funding round. The milestone is another testament to our investors’ continued belief in the Bank’s strategy, as we continue to move forward in our journey and accelerate our path to profitability, targeting monthly profitability in the second half of 2024.
“Monument remains committed to serving the overlooked ‘mass affluent’ segment in the UK, and eventually beyond the UK, having launched new features and products to further enhance the client experience. Most recently we launched Notice savings accounts, built in 6 weeks following feedback from mass affluent clients who are seeking a wide range of options to meet their various financial goals. Looking ahead, the Bank continues to plan new product launches to expand its ability to help clients meet their needs.
“The business’ growth continues to accelerate, with assets exceeding £700m, 335% growth year to date. Our proposition and quality of service has successfully attracted mass affluent clients, with our average balance now over £60,000, enabling us to scale with a laser sharp focus on our community.”
