The London-based, fast-growing circular economy fintech helps consumers convert unwanted goods into cash.

“We offer the next generation of banking services like the Bank of Things – allowing our customers to discover wealth they never knew they had,” said Twig founder Geri Cupi.

Twig is an advocate of the circular economy – a solution that tackles global challenges such as climate change, waste and pollution. It also encourages consumers to reconsider their shopping habits.

Initially, Twig allowed customers to turn their clothes and personal electronics into cash. Recently, Twig has launched more categories to include watches, toys and even vehicles.

Such a move has enabled a much more expanded choice for customers and at the same time has enabled the company to grow in an accelerated manner.

Cupi said: “Twig is a catalyst for positive change, empowering people to convert their unwanted things into cash. Our mission is to reduce littering. Why throw away items because ‘it’s easier’ when you can repurpose them instead to financial assets ?

“In seconds we can buy clothes, electronics, toys, jewelry, real estate and books for instant funds that can be used for your next purchases”.

Using Twig, clients can easily value and get paid for assets such as clothing, electronics and books, with the valuation performed in nanoseconds through Twig’s pricing algorithm.

Since its launch, Twig has started a number of services rooted in circular economic principles, with a mobile banking solution among the products. Today it is the fastest growing fintech app in the UK – with one million users and over two million downloads.
