Our Story & Leadership. Elevated by Technology.
Where Innovation Meets Governance
Founded by Dr. Marko Sjoblom, a recognised authority in applying AI to regulated financial services, and chaired by David Hopton, former Bank of England senior executive with over 40 years’ experience, Fiinu combines cutting-edge technology with proven governance. Dr. Sjoblom has grown and successfully exited multiple businesses, while Mr. Hopton has led profit centres and served on numerous bank boards.
A Leadership Built for Impact
Our founder and Chair believe exceptional outcomes come from the perfect blend of talented people and advanced technology. With Dr. Sjoblom’s track record in building compliant, bank-grade systems and leading fintech innovation — and Mr. Hopton’s deep business and governance expertise — we’ve assembled a Board and Executive team with the skills to deliver transformative products within a sound, sustainable strategy.
From Foundation to the London Stock Exchange
From our inception to becoming a publicly listed company on the London Stock Exchange, we’ve remained nimble, innovative, and deeply client-centric. We tackle complex challenges across consumer and private markets, using proprietary technology platforms to unlock new solutions.
A Culture That Multiplies Impact
Though leaner than many, our flat structure empowers every team member to act with ownership, initiative, and accountability. This entrepreneurial mindset — anchored by governance discipline — drives long-term stability and shareholder value.
Standing Out in a Crowded Field
In a technology- and AI-driven sector often judged on scale alone, Fiinu stands out for its focus, agility, and resilience. Guided by an experienced leadership team and reinforced by technological ingenuity, we’ve earned the trust of investors, partners, and customers — and we’re executing a sustainable growth strategy built to last.

Leadership Team
Built on Solid Foundations
Fiinu Plc is a publicly listed company on the London Stock Exchange, bringing together bank-grade technology, a growing FX arm, and a clear roadmap to re-enter UK banking when the timing is right. Since listing in 2022, we have built our business with prudent capital management, no long-term debt, and a focus on scalable, revenue-generating operations.
Our heritage includes UK banking authorisation and Bank of England mobilisation, complete with an independent audit of our proprietary Plugin Overdraft® platform. Today, we combine that regulatory and technical pedigree with the agility of a fintech, operating in strictly regulated environments and maintaining strong governance at board and operational levels.
We measure our success in more than just financial metrics — it’s also about the trust of our shareholders, the reliability of our platforms, and our ability to deliver in dynamic markets.
