Our customers often tell us they find it tough to take a holiday, so we launched a survey to find out how often business owners actually manage to get away.
We're venturing to a new city and opening an office in Leeds to better serve our diverse customer base – 79% of which are outside of London.
As we celebrate the end of the year, we're really pleased to connect to Barclays and HSBC through Open Banking. We now offer three Open Banking connections, including Lloyds Bank, so more than 60 percent of our customers can open up to Open Banking.
We've pledged to provide £100m in finance to the small businesses of the North by 2020.
We’re so pleased to share the news that we were honoured with the award for Responsible Lender of the Year for Medium-Sized Businesses at this year’s Credit Awards.
