Digital bank Monzo has issued a stark warning about its survival prospects with losses at the company more than doubling to £115m, from £47m in losses in the previous year.

In a 31 July statement, the startup said that the blow the pandemic has dealt to its revenues, coupled with a more challenging fundraising environment, means its ability “to continue as a going concern is subject to material uncertainties”.
