Launched in 2014 in Lille, Pumpkin started out as a mobile app for instant, free payments and reimbursements between individuals in a secure environment. The app lets users send or request money from their contacts through the interface of a mobile number.
With 1.2 million users and more than 250 million euros exchanged, Pumpkin now offers a current account and a bank card together with a cashback programme, and makes it possible to manage savings or transfer payments.
Pumpkin aims to increase the share of purchases made through its payment solution from 20 to 30% a year.
