Sky News understands that founder and executive chair, Antony Jenkins, has hired financial advisory group, Lazard, to oversee a Series C funding round in 2021.

The firm recently recruited Dr Leda Glyptis as its chief client officer, and Mark Holt as chief product and engineering officer.
Jenkins established the company in 2016 to help major banks manage their accelerating transition to digital services.
The firm has attracted investment from Nationwide and JP Morgan, the Wall Street behemoth which plans to launch a consumer banking app in the UK next year.
10x’s other shareholders include the Chinese insurer Ping An and management consultancy, Oliver Wyman.
10x competes against the likes of Mambu and ThoughtMachine.
The report notes that Mambu is also raising additional funds to accelerate its growth.
