Allica Bank

The company sets itself apart by reimagining relationship banking, which is something that has been taken away from SMEs in recent years. Allica Bank is not only bringing it back but also improving on it, arming relationship managers with slick technology. This has been successful with the bank offering over £71m in SME loans in its first year of activity. Originally offering savings accounts, commercial mortgages, an asset finance, Allica is now a full-service digital bank for UK SMEs and professional landlords.

The company is a fully licensed bank and it aims to continue to simplify the complex financial world by providing clients with easy-to-understand products and transparent fees. Due to the high levels of demand for its financial products, it has seen significant growth year on year (and is now the UK's fastest growing fintech). Boasting nearly doubling its profit in the last year alone, Allica is really making a name for itself.
