The Bank of London, a new entity in the financial sector, has successfully raised £42m from investors despite political and economic challenges. This funding comes shortly after receiving a winding-up order from tax authorities due to unpaid taxes. Led by Luxembourg's Mangrove Capital Partners, known for backing tech ventures like Skype, this funding round reflects ongoing investor confidence.
