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]

I just wondered how they achieved the original £75 balance and if that had changed positively?

But I guess it doesn't hurt gathering dust in the bottom drawer...

Probably a projection of the value 3 or 5 years after issue based on a whole range of optimistic assumptions about grant of a banking license, cash investment by other shareholders, market share gained, ability to sell multiple products to customers, level of costs, level of bad debts, etc etc.

Or in other words, it was made up.

Reminds me of my great aunt

I took up the offer but have no idea.

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?

This bank offers a decent credit card, which charges no monthly or currency fees and pays 0.5% cashback. Whether or not it'll ever actually make them any profit, who knows!

I've never heard from them again. Maybe others' have?

That sounds like an interpretation of claims that they would partner with customers to develop products or the other bs that businesses come up with to explain or justify their actions.

They're also offering fixed rate savings at 2% for a year, which seems to be about as good as you can get in the market.
