The startup, founded by former chief technology officer at JPMorgan's investment division Craig Goulding and Barclays FX banker James Lynn, launched its consumer travel debit card product in January and, despite COVID-19 limiting travel, onboarded 5,000 cardholders in the first quarter alone, the company claimed.
