I thought the offer was that you got a share on the basis the bank would contact you with surveys on service and they would ask you about developing products etc...?
Have they not been in contact with you since you took up the offer?
I've never heard from them again. Maybe others' have?
Same here. Nothing whatsoever about the share or how to get hold of it.

Well apparently shareholders are "co-founders" and Tandem Bank says:
"
Co-Founders, you are the bedrock of Tandem. The seeds, builders, and the critics. Over 10,000 of you came together to invent and implement Tandem. You helped name us. You shared breakfast with us. You came to the events with us. You told us when Tandem was doing good and when Tandem could do better.
Because it isn't you and us, it's we: Co-Founders, always..."
How was breakfast???

No breakfast invite
I do have an email from them though
Yesss! You did it… You’re officially a Tandem Co-Founder and shareholder in our bank (Go ahead, crack open the champers and celebrate).

Oh I see... It was a champagne breakfast; just that you ended up paying for the champers and breakfasted alone...!?!

William Joseph1 wrote:Tandem Bank is not currently listed on the Stock Exchange. So its shares are not publicly tradeable. Therefore they are worth whatever someone is willing to pay for them if you can find a buyer and if the conditions of the share allow them to be transferred. A bit like imutual with no known value.

According to this
https://suite.endole.co.uk/insight/comp ... ey-limited there are only 99 shareholders so not many took up the offer of a free share. Unless these are a special class of share in some way. In which case they will be even more difficult to sell. I suspect like most of these get rich schemes they are pretty much worthless. But like imutual no harm in anyone sitting on them in hope.
Co-Founder Community
Tandem was established and built with the help of a group of customers which the bank calls "co-founders". Tandem expanded its formerly invite-only co-founder group by asking members of the public to join in April 2016 during a short sign-up window.[10] As part of becoming a co-founder, 5% of the company stock was promised to co-founders in return for helping to grow the Tandem bank community and participating in market research, but at present, the bank is still operating a waitlist for potential customers, as above.[11][12] Tandem held a crowdfunding round in May 2016[13]

Interesting... It says there are 10,000 (not 99) co-founder shareholders on their web-site!?!

Who to believe...???

It doesn't say the "co-founders" are shareholders.

According to filings at Companies House, there are around 180 shareholders. Richard said earliy in this thread that he'd signed up and his name doesn't appear on the share register.
I didn't sign up, so I can't directly comment on what was promised or what was provided. But if you want to know the current status, why not contact Tandem directly and report back.

...don't think they are going to tell me a lot, I'm not a shareholder either but I would welcome insight from those who are shareholders.

I contacted them earlier today, awaiting a response.
Some of the documents on Companies House refer to "Founder Shares". I can't see any mention of who these are allocated to or what rights the shares give. But I have no share certificate or idea of how many shares I actually have.
