So far, we’ve rebuilt the Big Three consumer finance products from scratch:

loans, credit cards and car finance . We get money into our customers’ hands in minutes instead of days. We’re growing fast, and there’s a lot more to do: we’re going after the two biggest Western markets (UK and US) where trillions worth of financial products are held by big banks
