Company mission

Our take
As the public’s access to and interest in trading and investing grows, and more importantly, diversifies, WealthKernel makes it easier for FinTechs to serve their customers by building API-based digital trading infrastructure.
In the UK, around 6 million adults now use at least one investment app, a number which is expected to grow in the future. What’s particularly interesting about WealthKernel’s approach is the diversity of its clients’ pursuits. Wahed, for example, is an online halal ethical investment platform, while Claro Money is a coaching financial planning app.
While it's a pretty competitive field for customer-facing trade and investment FinTechs, the market growth suggests that it's a prime time to be in WealthKernel’s position building infrastructure for these companies.

The projects that we work on are not simple and require a lot of thought to get things right, which is a big focus. WealthKernel is not the sort of company to just push things out of the door done badly to get them done quickly. There are always difficult challenges to get your teeth stuck into and you learn a lot.

Challenging work

Microservices, Event Sourcing, CQRS, Asynchronous APIs, lots of buzzwords but these are things we actually do. There is a focus on code standards and making sure we are consistent across all of our services which makes working on them really easy. You spend time thinking about the actual problem and not trying to understand what another new code base does!
