Our story

Our mission is simple – we’re here to revolutionise financial services.

By expanding the market, and with better use of data and tech, we can change the way the industry operates for good.

We’re passionate about creating innovative products and technology that serves this purpose. And we’re busy building a portfolio of brands and businesses that also help power our goal.

We’re a distribution business, a tech business, a community and more.

Our history

We started in 2018, frustrated that the financial services sector was stuck in the past, with poor legacy systems and the rising regulatory burden.

Drawing on our private client heritage, and backed by Lloyd’s Names, we had a clear plan of what needed changing – and spotted a big opportunity, to more effectively harness the power of data and tech to drive growth in the industry.

We’ve since raised multiple rounds of investment, and our ambitions have only got bigger.
