About Abound
At Abound, we are revolutionizing consumer lending across the UK and beyond. By leveraging cutting-edge AI and Open Banking data, we provide fair and affordable personal finance solutions to a broader audience. Unlike traditional lenders who primarily rely on credit scores, we take a holistic view of each customer's financial landscape—considering spending habits and repayment capabilities to create a more nuanced understanding of their unique situation.
Our approach has proven successful at scale: we have issued over £1.3bn in loans directly to customers, achieving market-leading credit performance. For every 10 defaults expected in the industry, we experience only 3. Furthermore, we achieved profitability just 2.5 years post-launch.
With backing from over £2bn in funding from prestigious investors such as Citi, GSR Ventures, and Deutsche Bank, we are recognized as one of Europe’s fastest-growing fintech companies (Sifted, CNBC). As we expand into new markets and product lines, we seek ambitious individuals eager to learn, take ownership, and grow alongside us.
