This week on Weekly Harvest, Igor Tomych and Dumitru Kondryaev unpack three stories shaping fintech and digital finance.
1. Nvidia invests £2B in UK AI + fintech
Nvidia is committing two billion pounds to the UK AI ecosystem, backing startups like Revolut and NScale. With 65M customers and millions of new data points every 10 days, Revolut offers a goldmine for training AI. This partnership could redefine how fintech leverages GPU power for large-scale AI innovation, from customer support to new digital products.

2. EU shuts out Big Tech in open finance
The European Union has advanced legislation for open finance, but excluded Apple, Google, and Meta from accessing financial data under the same rules as European players. Lawmakers aim to protect local fintechs and avoid a repeat of US-style big tech dominance. Is this smart digital sovereignty — or protectionism dressed up as regulation?

3. Klarna after IPO: “10 years behind Revolut”
Klarna’s chairman declared the company is a decade behind Revolut despite raising $1.4B and securing a banking license. At its peak, Klarna was valued near $40B, but leadership now wants post-IPO efficiency and global scalability. IPOs aren’t the finish line — they’re just the next chapter.
