Citing people close to the matter, Sky News says that approximately £200m is expected to be provided by new shareholders, with the remainder coming from existing backers of the company.

A £3bn valuation implies substantial growth in Monzo's revenues, and would be almost three times the £1.1bn valuation achieved in its last discounted capital-raising earlier this year.

The news follows a series of damaging setbacks for the UK challenger bank, which last montth abandoned plans to acquire a US banking licence and in July issued another warning about its ability to continue as a going concern after reporting a £115 million loss for 2020/21. It also revealed that it is under investigation by the Financial Conduct Authority over its compliance with money laundering rules.
