We set out to fix that. Today we're a financial platform
- not just a credit card company.

We offer a best-in-class business credit card, SME-focused spend management platform, a savings product that hit 1 billion in funds within its first year, and a growing suite of tools and financial products that make running a small business easier. 1,000+ employees, 20bn in annual card spend, 200,000+ customers, 17,000+ Trustpilot reviews averaging 4.7 stars, and we're profitable.
