Our customer is the leading UK Digital challenger to banks who believe banking services shouldn’t get in the way of life – they should enrich it.
They spent the past 12 years building banking services that are fast, smart and simple to challenge with the High Street banks. Services that strive to ensure our business and personal customers aren’t slowed down, but propelled forward. From introducing the first UK prepaid card in 2005, to become the first non-bank to offer a current account, they have been ahead of the curve for as long as they’ve been around.
Their 1.3 million customers and nearly £8 billion in payments processed to date are proof that it’s possible to be both profitable as well as pioneering.
