Announcing the decision to step down on LinkedIn, Hipperson writes: “As a founder, it’s never easy to step away from something you’ve built from the ground up, but I feel it’s the right time for me to take a step back and pursue new opportunities.
“I leave Ziglu as one of only a few firms to be licensed and certified for banking services and crypto in the UK and EU with its own purpose-built technology.”
Launched in 2020, Ziglu allows users to buy and sell cryptocurrencies through its app, make payments using a debit card and move and spend money abroad without fees.
In April last year, it was announced the firm was set to be acquired by US stock-trading app Robinhood, but the deal recently fell through.
Hipperson will remain on Ziglu’s board as a part-time non-executive director. He was previously the CTO of Centtrip and founder and CTO of Starling Bank.
