Fintech firm SumUp Payments Ltd. is preparing for a European IPO, soliciting bank pitches after initially considering a US listing. The move signals confidence in Europe’s capital markets amid shifting fintech valuations. The company, known for its point-of-sale terminals, is targeting exchanges in London or Amsterdam. The selection reflects strategic preference for European investor bases over US alternatives. SumUp has enlisted STJ Advisors to assist with IPO preparations, indicating advanced planning stages. The advisor’s involvement suggests a structured, high-profile listing process. The shift from US to European markets may reflect regulatory, valuation, or investor sentiment factors. No timeline was disclosed, but bank pitches suggest momentum toward a 2026-2027 debut.
