During her keynote address at the Innovate Finance Global Summit (IFGS) 2025 on 29 April, UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves highlighted Zilch as one of Europe’s fastest-growing companies, citing it as a standout example of British fintech success.
In her address, the Chancellor emphasised the strength and global standing of the UK’s fintech sector:
“Last year, the UK’s FinTech sector attracted $3.6 billion of investment – more than any other country bar the US. Almost half of Europe’s FinTech unicorns are based here in Britain and roughly a third of all UK unicorns are FinTechs – a higher share than anywhere else. Companies like Allica Bank and Zilch, who were both recently named among the fastest growing companies in Europe by the Financial Times or Zopa, for whom 2024 marked another year of extraordinary economic growth.”
As the Chancellor made clear, Zilch is setting the pace for growth, both across the UK and Europe.
