Banking was broken – so we decided to fix it. The vision? Fast technology, fair service and honest values, all at the tap of a phone, all the time. Once we'd secured our banking licence, we set about creating an app that would give people tools to confidently manage their money and allow them talk to a human 24/7 if they needed help. Since launching our app-based current accounts in 2017, we’ve grown a lot: a team of more than two thousand, three million accounts and four account types - personal, business, joint and multi-currency, alongside a child card. We've also been voted Britain’s Best Current Account five years running. Oh, and we're the first bank to be founded by a woman.
