It’s been almost a week since the launch of Wise’s shares on the London Stock Exchange, and the payments company is holding on to its gains.

The firm’s share price is up more than 10% as of 13 July, awarding the fintech startup a market capitalisation of £9.5bn — a significant jump from £8bn at its debut, and its last privately-held price tag of $5bn a year ago.
