Our take

Oakbrook was founded as a better way to do consumer lending – by being more personalised and customer focussed. It wants to keep pace with rapidly evolving customer expectations, disaggregate banking and lending, and move away from legacy technology that typically delivers poor customer outcomes.

Oakbrook's embedded consumer finance platform is integrated into over 40 aggregators, curates 3bn data points every day and provides end-to-end digitally enabled customer services using in-depth customer research, leading edge data and analysis at the individual level throughout the customer journey.

The company wants to become the industry leader for borrowers, and is backed by private equity Blenheim Chalcot who have decades of experience using state-of-the-art technology and new approaches to transform markets. In line with this growth plan, Oakbrook's main priority for the following period is to develop new financial products specially designed for personalised borrowing.
