British neobank Monzo has raised an additional £150 million ($190 million) in a follow-on funding round, taking its total capital raised in 2024 to $610 million and valuing the challenger bank at £4.1 billion ($5.2 billion) on a post-money basis. The May fundraise follows a £340 million ($430 million) raise completed in March 2024.

The latest tranche brought in new backer Hedosophia alongside Alphabet's independent growth fund CapitalG and Singapore's sovereign wealth fund GIC.

Monzo has indicated that the capital raised across 2024 will support two initiatives: a renewed push into the United States market and the launch of pension products for UK consumers.

IPO PLANS

Management has previously indicated that an initial public offering remains a longer-term objective.
