Finseta Reports 26%
Revenue Growth in 2024, Driven by Customer Base Expansion
The
London-listed fintech firm saw its active customer count rise to 1,059 from 906
in the previous year, while adjusted EBITDA increased 18% to £2.0 million. The
company's gross margin improved to 65.5%, up from 63.4% in 2023.
Private
clients, primarily high-net-worth individuals, accounted for 59% of total
revenue, while corporate accounts contributed 40%. The remaining 1% came from a
licensing agreement related to its former subsidiary, Avila House.
James Hickman, CEO of Finseta
“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

Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
At iFX Expo Dubai, Finance Magnates spoke with Razi Salih, CEO at Paytiko, about the evolution of the payments ecosystem and why payment orchestration has shifted from an option to a necessity for brokers, prop firms, and exchanges.
Mr. Salih explains how global expansion, the need for deep localisation, and the sheer number of new payment methods, from instant banking to stablecoins, are driving this critical infrastructure shift.

Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav sits down with Finance Magnates to discuss the core technology challenges facing CFD brokers and proprietary trading firms today.
Jadhav explains how the industry's reliance on batch processing and fragmented systems (where CRMs, risk tools, and trading platforms operate with separate 'sources of truth') leads to delayed data and inconsistent operational decisions. He argues that real-time event processing is essential for managing fast-moving trading activity and risk.
Learn how Altima's unified, event-driven architecture, connecting Altima CRM, Altima Prop, IB systems, and risk management through a single backbone, is designed to provide synchronous data and better operational coordination for modern brokerage and prop firm stacks.
Key Topics:
- Broker and Prop Firm Data Challenges
- The problem of delayed data processing (batch processing vs. real-time events)
- Fragmented systems and conflicting data sources
- Altima's unified, event-driven solution architecture
- The concept of a "risk-aware CRM"
- Built-in risk management in Altima Prop
