Ikigai launches GBP 1.2 million crowdfunding campaign
Ikigai, a wealth management and banking app for affluent millennials, announced a UK crowdfunding campaign through Crowdcube to accelerate business and product development and the expansion of its technology team.
One of the UK fintech companies combining wealth management and everyday banking in a single app, Ikigai had already raised GBP 2 million from angel investors.
The announcement followed a decision to expand its partnership with custodian WealthKernel. Operating under authorisation from the UK Financial Conduct Authority, WealthKernel would safeguard customer assets, maintain asset records independently of potential investment-manager conflicts, and record and report changes in asset values.
Named after a Japanese concept meaning a reason for living, Ikigai described its mission as helping customers bridge the gap between their financial circumstances and lifestyle.
