FinTech

From Series A-funded startups to unicorns, we engineer solutions, big data analytics and test concepts for the performance obsessed. 

A platform for FinTechs to thrive

The UK is the second largest destination globally for FinTech investment, with the number of firms projected to double by 2030. Driving innovation and technology advancements, FinTechs cater to the need for greater digital experiences built on secure, intuitive and fast transactions and interactions.

We use our in-depth understanding of the sector and financial services trends to help FinTechs at different stages. From startups wanting to build the bank of the future to B-corps wanting to grow sustainably with Open Banking to established players focused on maximising profitability, our clients include neo and digital banks, alternative finance, BNPL, payments, retail point of sale and wallets to those breaking ground in emerging sub-sectors.

Our consultants and data scientists work alongside project teams to design solutions to optimise the consumer experience and serve specific business needs. Projects cover the whole customer journey from friction-right digital onboarding — requiring minimal user effort thanks to sophisticated fraud and identity verification, credit risk and affordability capabilities — to turnkey, consumer-centric solutions that promote credit education and empowerment.
