Monzo's valuation drops 40% in latest funding round
Monzo, a London-based digital bank, is set to close its next funding round at a valuation of approximately £1.25 billion
The company is looking to raise £70-80 million at a 40% discount from its previous valuation of £2 billion
The downround is a result of the current economic climate and the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on investor appetite
Despite the downround, investors remain confident in Monzo's future, with several sources indicating that the company has already secured commitments for at least half of the funding target.
