FinTech firm 10x Banking, founded by former Barclays CEO Antony Jenkins, has announced a significant milestone of over 10 million live accounts on its platform. This achievement coincides with the company raising £40 million in fresh funding, led by existing investors BlackRock and J.P. Morgan.

In the 12 months leading up to May 2026, 10x Banking experienced substantial growth, with its Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) increasing by more than 30%. The company also reached a key financial milestone by becoming EBITDA positive in the fourth quarter of 2025, positioning itself for continued profitability.

Founded in 2016 with the aim of revolutionizing the banking industry through cloud-native core banking solutions, 10x Banking has been instrumental in powering major banking organizations like Westpac and Chase UK. The company has also expanded its reach, onboarding over 10 new clients across APAC, North America, the Middle East, and the UK in the past year.
