Our take

Mode is a Bitcoin and payments app that allows customers to shop, earn and grow their Bitcoin, all in one place. By leveraging the power of Bitcoin and Open Banking, Mode is on a quest to create the world's most disruptive ecosystem, where exchanging value and creating wealth is seamless for all.

The company differentiates itself from its competitors through the ease of use, simplicity and safety of its app, which makes it the preferred choice amongst many Bitcoin OGs and newbies alike. Additionally, Mode is revolutionising the payments space by combining payments and loyalty into one single platform, where customers can make secure payments, accrue Bitcoin rewards and manage their Bitcoin all in one place.

Mode was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 2020, raising over £7.5 million through IPO as one of the first UK companies with a consumer digital asset offering to be publicly listed. The startup also now enables UK and European businesses to attract high-value Chinese customers by allowing them to market their products on WeChat and Alipay. Coupled with its portfolio of FCA licenses, Mode prides itself in being a trusted and secure provider of crypto-asset services in the UK. With this strong backing and these strategic moves in the sector, Mode is poised well for future growth.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Mode

Chloe Ward (HRBP)

  • At Mode, the spirit of open access and opportunity runs through our DNA. We believe in building accessibility, transparency, and credibility around digital assets, and we’ve made it our mission to propel an unprecedented wave of democratisation and inclusion.
  • We strongly believe that creating a diverse team and a culture of inclusion is absolutely essential to our business success. We simply cannot build a product that is accessible for all without ensuring that our team is both representative of our users and the general population as a whole, and that everyone at Mode feels comfortable speaking up, contributing to the discussion, and bringing their whole, authentic selves to work.
  • We are, and always have been, committed to baking inclusion into our processes and ways of working, and promoting equality of opportunity in everything we do.
