WeSwap, the currency swapping service, has raised just over £2.4 million through a crowdfunding campaign on Seedrs.

The peer-to-peer service, startup pitch here, raised the funds with 2,961 people investing in it – a record for an independent business on a UK crowdfunding platform.

WeSwap plans to expand its business further, with the input of its new investors.

The investment comes on top of a venture capital round of £6.5 million raised in July and led by Ascot Capital Partners, EC1 Capital and IW Capital.
