         The class of equity securities to which this Statement on Schedule 13D
relates is the common stock, $.001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of
GlobalNet Financial.com, Inc. (the "Issuer"), a company incorporated under the
laws of Delaware, with its principal executive offices located at 2425 Olympic

ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

         This Statement is being filed by Freeserve plc ("Freeserve"), a public
limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales.

         Freeserve is a leading U.K. Internet portal that delivers both free

and community. Its primary business office is located at Maylands Avenue, Hemel
Hempstead, Hertfordshire, HP2 7TG, England. Freeserve plc is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Dixons Group plc, a public limited company organized under the
laws of England and Wales.

         Dixons Group plc ("Dixons"), is a holding company with its primary
business office at Maylands Avenue, Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, HP2 7TG,
England. It is the U.K.'s leading consumer electronics retailer in terms of

         The directors and executive officers of Freeserve and Dixons are set
forth on Schedules I and II respectively, attached hereto. Schedules I and II
set forth the following information with respect to each such person:

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

         On May 12, 1999, Freeserve acquired 8,382,669 shares of Common Stock of
the Issuer pursuant to the terms of an investment letter between Freeserve and
the Issuer, dated May 7, 1999 (the "Agreement"), which triggered Freeserve's
obligation to file this statement on Schedule 13D. The Agreement provided that
Freeserve would purchase 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock at $1.00 per share
pursuant to the terms of the outstanding warrant held by Dixons Overseas
Investments, Ltd., an affiliated company, as well as 6,382,669 new shares of
Common Stock at $2.00 per share. In addition, the Agreement granted Freeserve
(i) anti-dilution rights for a period of 30 months that allow Freeserve to
maintain its ownership percentage in the case of future offerings of shares,
(ii) the right to designate one or two of the Issuer's directors, at its option,
and (iii) a warrant to purchase additional shares of the Issuer's Common Stock,
exercisable at a price of $2.25 per share, in sufficient quantity to take its
aggregate shareholding up to 19.9%. The warrant expires 30 months from the date
of the Agreement. The Issuer provides investment-related information services
and is the provider of Freeserve's Money Channel under the brand name
UK.iNvest.com.

         The Issuer's shares are traded on the Over-The-Counter Market and are
registered under Section 12 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, (the "Securities Act"). The Agreement was consummated pursuant to and
in accordance with the laws and practice of the United States. On July 6, 1999,
the Issuer effected a six-for-one reverse share split. As a result, Freeserve
currently holds 1,397,111 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

         Freeserve purchased shares of the Issuer's Common Stock as an
investment. Freeserve has invested in the Issuer in order to potentially profit
from the Issuer's growth and to have a voice in the development of its product
offering, which is included on Freeserve's portal. Freeserve does not have any
present plans or proposals to increase its investment above 19.9%.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

         After giving effect to the July 6, 1999, reverse share split, Freeserve
beneficially owns and has the sole power to vote and dispose of 1,397,111 shares
of the Common Stock, or approximately 13.04% of the Issuer's outstanding Common
Stock. In addition, pursuant to the Agreement described above, Freeserve has a
warrant to purchase additional shares of the Issuer's Common Stock.

         Through its ownership of Freeserve, Dixons may also be considered to be
a beneficial owner of such shares of Common Stock, and may be deemed to share
with Freeserve voting and dispositive power with respect to such shares of
Common Stock.

<PAGE>   6


         Except as described herein, neither Freeserve, Dixons nor any other
person referred to in Schedules I and II attached hereto has acquired or
disposed of any shares of Common Stock during the past sixty days.

ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS TO SECURITIES
        OF THE ISSUER

         Pursuant to the terms of a contract entered into in January 1999, the
Issuer has the exclusive right to provide investment information on the Money
Channel of Freeserve's portal and to conduct related e-commerce transactions.
The Issuer pays Freeserve a fee for this exclusive right. The contract was
entered in the usual course of business.

         Except as described herein, none of the persons named in Item 2 has any
contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships, legal or otherwise,
with any other persons with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including,

     2.   All shares sold pursuant to #1 above including those shares purchased
          pursuant to the Warrant will be included in the registration statement
          currently filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

     3.   GLBN confirms that there are no warrants, other than the Warrant, as
          well as options or similar convertible securities outstanding listed
          on Exhibit 1 attached as of the date of this letter.

          Effective upon the closing of the Investment GLBN hereby agrees as
          follows:

     4.   In the event of the subsequent issuance of shares of common stock (an
          "Issuance") of GLBN within a period of thirty (30) months of the
          closing of the Investment, either in connection with investments in
          GLBN by others or the acquisition of stock or assets of another
          company or otherwise, GLBN hereby grants Freeserve anti-dilution
          rights to purchase a number of shares on the same terms and conditions
          as any other outside investor, or at the value of the acquisition, as
          will maintain Freeserve's percentage equity interest in GLBN at the
          closing of the Investment. The foregoing, however, shall not apply to
          an issuance of less than 1% of the then number of shares outstanding.

     5.   GLBN will grant Freeserve a warrant exercisable at $2.25 per share for
          a period of 30 months to purchase such number of shares of GLBN's
          common stock to increase Freeserve's ownership to 19.9% of the fully
          diluted number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior
          to the exercise of the warrant.

     6.   In the event of the subsequent issuance of shares, or the granting of
          rights to subscribe for or purchase shares including any warrants,
          options or other convertible securities of common stock, with
          purchase, conversion or exercise prices at less than $2.25 per share,
          GLBN will offer Freeserve the ability to purchase 15% of the number of
          shares issued or shares underlying the warrant, option or convertible
          security at the purchase, exercise or conversion price of the
          security.

     7.   The election of Freeserve's designee(s) to one or two seats on GLBN's
          Board of Directors at Freeserve's option.

     8.   GLBN's capital structure as of the date hereof is as follows:

                               INVESTMENT LETTER

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF GlobalNet Financial.com, Inc. (a Delaware
Corporation)

     The undersigned hereby represents to GlobalNet Financial.com, Inc., a
Delaware Corporation (the "Corporation"), that (1) the shares of the
Corporation's common stock (the "Securities") which are being acquired by the
undersigned are for investment and not with a view to the public resale or
distribution thereof, (2) the undersigned will not sell, transfer or otherwise
dispose of the Securities except in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Act"); and (3) the undersigned is aware that the Securities are
"restricted securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144 or the General Rules
and Regulations under the Act.

     The undersigned further acknowledges that he has had an opportunity to ask
questions of and receive answers from duly designated representatives of the
Corporation concerning the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Securities
are being acquired. The undersigned acknowledges that he has been afforded an
opportunity to examine such documents and other information which he has
requested for the purpose of verifying the information set forth in said
documents.

     The undersigned acknowledges and understands that the Securities are
unregistered and must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently
registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available.

     The undersigned further acknowledges that he is fully aware of the
applicable limitations on the resale of the Securities. These restrictions for
the most part are set forth in Rule 144, which rule permits sales of "restricted
securities" upon compliance with the requirements of such rule. If the Rule is
available to the undersigned, the undersigned may be required to make only
routine sales of securities, in limited amounts, in accordance with the terms
and conditions of that Rule.

     Any and all certificates representing the Securities, and any and all
securities issued in replacement thereof or in exchange therefor, shall bear the
following legend, which the undersigned has read and understands:

     The securities represented by this Certificate have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") and are

"restricted securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Act.
The securities may not be offered for sale, sold or otherwise transferred
except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or
pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act, the availability of
which is to be established to the satisfaction of the Corporation.



                                       Very truly yours,
