Fiinu Plc
("Fiinu", the "Company" or the "Group")
Half-Year results for the six months ended 30 June 2026
Fiinu plc (AIM: BANK), a fintech group, creator of the Plugin Overdraft®, announces its unaudited half-year results for the six months ended 30 June 2026.
Business Highlights
UK White-labelled Plugin Overdraft® Partnership: Substantial progress was made during the period towards the first production deployment of the Plugin Overdraft® with Conister Bank, with implementation materially advanced and remaining work focused on launch preparation.
Plugin Overdraft® Platform Development: The technology platform was further developed during the period to support deployment across European Open Banking architectures and to integrate alongside partners' existing banking infrastructure, supporting the Group's strategy of deploying the Plugin Overdraft® through multiple white-label banking partnerships.
Everfex Operational Remediation and Restructuring: Following a detailed post-acquisition review, the Board took decisive steps to address legacy operational, financial and governance matters within Everfex. Governance, risk oversight, AML/compliance arrangements, credit controls and operating procedures were strengthened, alongside a detailed review of legacy lending, creditor claims and historical transactions.
Capital Discipline and Operational Efficiency: The Group deployed capital and liquidity into continued development of the flagship Plugin Overdraft®, alongside supporting the post-acquisition review of Everfex. Plugin Overdraft® expenditure remained focused on achieving commercial deployment, while measures were implemented to transition Everfex towards a leaner and increasingly self-funded operating model, alongside continued tight management of plc overheads and discretionary expenditure.
Post Period End Highlights
Plugin Overdraft® - Conister Bank Partnership: Fiinu and Conister Bank agreed an addendum to their Master Services Agreement, formalising an updated implementation timetable and long-term commercial framework for the Plugin Overdraft®. The platform has progressed into the production environment, representing a significant milestone launch, targeted for around year-end 2026. The initial deployment is intended to support Conister Bank in extending overdraft facilities to Payment Assist Limited's existing customer base of approximately 1.5 million customers, with readiness for subsequent expansion to the wider market.
Everfex Operational Restructuring: Management has continued to reduce Everfex's operating cost base as part of the wider review of the business. By August 2026, the subsidiary's reported monthly overheads had reduced by approximately 55% compared with August 2025 and by approximately 50% compared with the representative monthly run-rate during 2025.
Strategic Outlook
The Group's strategy is focused on demonstrating the Plugin Overdraft® through its first production banking deployment and using that implementation as a foundation from which to secure additional white-label banking partnerships in the UK and Europe.
European Market Opportunity: During 2026, Fiinu has increased its focus on prospective European banking partners. The Plugin Overdraft® platform has been developed to operate across UK and EEA Open Banking architectures and alongside partners' existing banking infrastructure. European Banking Federation data suggests a banking market of approximately 5,000 institutions, while Fiinu's analysis of publicly available household financial-resilience data suggests over 120 million population of consumers experiencing short-term liquidity constraints which our Plugin Overdraft® solution could address. The Board believes this combination of a large addressable banking-partner market and identifiable consumer need provides a significant potential opportunity for the Group's white-label model.
Commercial Model and Scalability: For prospective white-label deployments, Fiinu's revenue model is based on recurring platform revenue per customer. This provides both the Group and banking partners with a known cost per customer. As the end user base increases for the Plugin Overdraft®, the Group also benefits from material economies of scale from its own supplier and technology cost base.
Based on the Group's current suppliers and technology cost structure, management estimates that this model could generate significant margins that increase further with scale. The technology-led nature of the platform therefore provides the potential for increasing operating leverage as customer volumes and the number of banking partners increase.
Broader Platform Opportunity: The Board views the Plugin Overdraft® as the first application of a broader unbundled-credit architecture, designed to allow banking partners to provide credit products to consumers without requiring customers to move their primary banking relationship. Over time, the Group believes this architecture could potentially support additional consumer and SME credit products.
Everfex: The Group's strategy is to establish Everfex within the enhanced governance, risk and capital frameworks that were introduced following acquisition. The desire remains to see Everfex operate profitably on a self-funded basis. Unfortunately, at this time there remains significant uncertainty with regards to Everfex's ongoing operational outlook due to continued legacy creditor matters and related ongoing restructuring discussions.
Financial Highlights
· Cash at period end £2.704m
· Loss after tax for the period £2.147m
Going Concern: The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In assessing going concern, the Directors have considered the financial position, the financial and cash flow projections, longer-term strategy of the business and the capital and liquidity plans, including stress tests and plans for future capital injections.
Forecasting revenues from financial services products involves inherent uncertainty, and there can be no assurance that anticipated opportunities will translate into revenues at the levels forecast. As such, forecasts, the timing of future commercial revenues and the Group's future cash requirements give rise to a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Further details are set out in Note 2
Dr Marko Sjoblom, Fiinu's Chief Executive said:
"The first half of 2026 has been a period of significant operational progress and active management across both of the Group's principal businesses. For the Plugin Overdraft®, our primary focus has remained the commercial deployment of the technology. We have continued to progress our partnership with Conister Bank and, following the period end, agreed an updated implementation and commercial framework and moved the platform into the production environment. Work is now focused on launch preparation, with the first production deployment targeted for around year-end 2026. We believe this represents an important step towards establishing a live, scalable platform from which the proposition can subsequently expand.
At Everfex, our priorities have evolved considerably following the acquisition. A detailed post-acquisition review identified a number of legacy operational, financial and governance matters which required decisive action. We have strengthened governance, risk management, compliance and credit controls, while reviewing legacy creditor positions and historical transactions. At the same time, management has materially reduced the operating cost base and is working towards establishing Everfex as a leaner and increasingly self-funded business. Our objective is to preserve and develop that business while addressing legacy matters through an appropriate and structured process, whilst carefully managing the Group's exposure to them.
Across Fiinu, we remain focused on disciplined capital allocation and managing liquidity. Our immediate priorities are clear: complete the first commercial deployment of the Plugin Overdraft®, continue to develop opportunities with prospective banking partners, progress the restructuring and operational improvement of Everfex, and maintain tight control over Group expenditure.
Although 2026 has presented challenges, the actions taken during the period and subsequently have created a clearer operational and financial framework for both businesses. We remain focused on execution and on converting the Group's technology, commercial relationships and underlying operating businesses into sustainable long-term shareholder value."

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Financial information contained in this document does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006 ("the Act").
The statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors confirmed that the financial statements:
· give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and of the Parent Company's affairs as at 31 December 2025 and of the Group's loss for the period then ended;
· have been properly prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards and, as regards the parent company financial statements, as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006; and
· have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
The auditors conducted the audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law.
The financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2026 and 30 June 2025 are unaudited. This announcement was approved by the Board on 10 September 2026.
1. Reporting entity
Fiinu Plc (the "Company" or, the "Group") is a public company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Ibex House, Baker Street, Weybridge, KT13 8AH. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at 30 June 2026 and for the six months ended 30 June 2026 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group").
Fiinu Plc is a publicly listed company on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange, bringing together bank-grade technology, with its Plugin Overdraft®, a technical Open Banking-enabled BaaS solution, with strategic plans to expand its presence and product offerings in the financial services sector.
2. Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial information has been prepared in accordance with UK adopted international accounting standards. The consolidated financial statements are presented in pounds sterling, the functional currency of the Company and presentation currency of the Group.
The interim financial information is made up to 30 June 2026. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial information of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with those used by other members of the Group.
All intra-Group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.
Subsidiaries are consolidated in the Group's financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
Acquisitions are accounted for using the acquisition method. the cost of an acquisition is measured at fair value at the date of exchange of the consideration. Identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquired business are recognised at their fair value at the date of acquisition. To the extent that the cost of an acquisition exceeds the fair value of the net assets acquired the difference is recorded as goodwill. Where the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeds the cost of an acquisition the difference is recorded in profit and loss. The Group has chosen not to adopt IAS 34 "Interim Financial Statements" in preparing the interim financial information.
The Group's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the continued management of its cost base and the timing and level of future cash generation from its operations and/or, if required, its ability to secure additional funding. The timing of commercial revenues from the Plugin Overdraft® remains subject to successful completion of implementation activities and subsequent customer adoption and therefore cannot be predicted with certainty.
These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the uncertainty outlined above can be managed to a successful outcome, and based on that assessment, the Group will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
3. Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies set out in detail in note 2 of the Group's consolidated financial statements to 31 December 2025 have been applied consistently to these unaudited financial statements to 30 June 2026. There are no new standards or amendments to standards which are material to the accounts for the half year ended 30 June 2026.
4. Events in the six months ended 30 June 2026
UK White-labelled Plugin Overdraft® Partnership: Substantial progress was made during the period towards the first production deployment of the Plugin Overdraft® with Conister Bank, with implementation materially advanced and remaining work focused on launch preparation.
Plugin Overdraft® Platform Development: The technology platform was further developed during the period to support deployment across European Open Banking architectures and to integrate alongside partners' existing banking infrastructure, supporting the Group's strategy of deploying the Plugin Overdraft® through multiple white-label banking partnerships.
Everfex Operational Remediation and Restructuring: Following a detailed post-acquisition review, the Board took decisive steps to address legacy operational, financial and governance matters within Everfex. Governance, risk oversight, AML/compliance arrangements, credit controls and operating procedures were strengthened, alongside a detailed review of legacy lending, creditor claims and historical transactions.
Capital Discipline and Operational Efficiency: The Group deployed capital and liquidity into continued development of the flagship Plugin Overdraft®, alongside supporting the post-acquisition review of Everfex. Plugin Overdraft® expenditure remained focused on achieving commercial deployment, while measures were implemented to transition Everfex towards a leaner and increasingly self-funded operating model, alongside continued tight management of plc overheads and discretionary expenditure.

6. Post Period end events
Plugin Overdraft® - Conister Bank Partnership: Fiinu and Conister Bank agreed an addendum to their Master Services Agreement, formalising an updated implementation timetable and long-term commercial framework for the Plugin Overdraft®. The platform has progressed into the production environment, representing a significant milestone towards the first production deployment, targeted for around year-end 2026. The initial deployment is intended to support Conister Bank in extending overdraft facilities to Payment Assist Limited's existing customer base of approximately 1.5 million customers, with the potential for subsequent expansion to the wider market.
Everfex Operational Restructuring: Management has continued to reduce Everfex's operating cost base as part of the wider restructuring of the business. By August 2026, the subsidiary's reported monthly overheads had reduced by approximately 55% compared with August 2025 and by approximately 50% compared with the representative monthly run-rate during 2025.
