Zedcrest Group has acquired Leatherback, a UK-based cross-border fintech founded in 2019. The value of the acquisition was not disclosed.
Zedcrest led a $10 million pre-seed investment in Leatherback in 2022 and said the acquisition reflects its ambition to expand its global financial services footprint. Following the acquisition, Leatherback plans to open hubs in Canada and Kenya to oversee its North American and East African operations.
“This acquisition represents far more than an expansion of our portfolio. It reflects our conviction that the future of financial services will be shaped by technology, global connectivity, and institutional trust,” Zedcrest Group Managing Director Adedayo Amzat said in a statement.
