With its highly successful Crowdcube campaign set to close next week, UK-based fintech Glint is set to close the funding round with nearly £1.8 million thanks to more than 1,200 investors. 

As previously reported, Glint was founded in 2015 and is now on a mission to reintroduce gold as money into the global payments system. The company released its mobile app and Mastercard to allow users to buy, store, and spend physical gold alongside national currencies.
