“This has been a milestone year for our company,” said James Hickman, CEO of Finseta. “We undertook several significant strategic initiatives while continuing to deliver strong growth.”

The latest data reveals that following a strong first half of the year, during which Finseta increased its revenue by 42%, the second half of 2024 also maintained positive momentum. During this period, revenue reached £5.1 million, significantly exceeding the £3.6 million reported in H1 2023.

Cash and cash equivalents strengthened to £2.6 million by year-end, resulting in a net cash position of £0.6 million, up from £0.2 million at the end of 2023. Operating cash flow reached £2.2 million, showing improvement from £2.0 million in the previous year.

“Our agreement with Mastercard, establishing a presence in Canada and adopting ‘Finseta’ as our new company name have strengthened our business and our ability to deliver value,” Hickman added. “Accordingly, we have entered 2025 with confidence and we look forward to reporting on further progress.”

Finseta is not the only LSE-listed company to report revenue growth this week. On Monday, Plus500 also released its financial results, revealing revenues of approximately $768 million and an EBITDA of about $342 million for 2024.
