I am sure there will be some people here just following the SP and looking to make a profit, either buy investing or shorting, take your pick. But if you actually look further into the company and realise what they are developing, just signing a deal with one bank is absolutely massive. The only other company you can really use as a metric to gauge the potential size of this company is Truelayer. They focus on moving money or sharing data via OpenBanking (the same core tech that FIINU is using).
When they first starting rolling they raise about £250m from their idea, and now have revenues of about £13T (yes that's trillion). Now Truelayer take a microscopic revenue every time someone adds money into Trading212 (as an example) or makes a payment via there service. The fees involved in overdraft use are considerably more material than this, so have the potential to be a huge revenue stream.
If you look further, OpenBanking data is about 10x more lucrative (revenue wise) than payments. E.g. (how often are you in your overdraft, what products/purchases are most used when in your overdraft). Selling this data is big/huge business and the revenue stream this can create for FIINU is truly huge.
Until they launch the SP is pretty immaterial, it seems that FIINU have everything nearly over the line, and if you believe they do, this is a solid investment. Money from the placing should more than cover what they need to do to start generating revenue and getting the deal that's already signed live.
Also, companies like FIINU, Truelayer etc once launched and live (and even pre-launch) are fairly lean cost/staff wise in comparison to turnover and profit. If they launch as promised we could see some impressive revenues and profits in a very short space of time (from an investment perspective).
