Company mission
To make personal finance collaborative.
Our take
According to StepLadder, it's a fundamental right to be able to own a home. However, the current system is broken and individuals face various challenges in order to be able to purchase the right home. StepLadder is a fintech company pioneering collaborative finance that aims to build a solution that helps clients make smart decisions and buy their first home faster.
StepLadder facilitates the process of first-time home buying as possible. The company connects its clients to its experts that help them every step of the way, including providing financial services, helping them negotiate with estate agents, or even helping them choose the right furniture. Moreover, the company is authorised and regulated by the FCA.
StepLadder aims to drive its expansion across the UK and internationally. They're determined to help "generation rent" get onto the property ladder. With its powerful collaborative deposit raising, named Circles, the company has helped 87% of its members save for their deposit faster than if they were to do it alone.
With StepLadder collaborating with BBVA and Anthemis, together they'll be bringing a tried and tested collaborative finance model into a digital platform. StepLadder will hugely benefit from the knowledge and the expertise from these companies and they're confident they can disrupt the banking sector by driving their shared mission and global aspirations forward.
