Company mission

Our take

Over 99% of businesses in the UK are small or medium-sized enterprises, representing a significant contribution to the economy. However, securing funding to kickstart a small business can be exhausting, with even modest loans from high street banks require a strong credit footprint, which is impossible to build without obtaining said loans.

Zempler Bank exists to supply loans to SMEs, as well as to provide a toolkit to simplify management of their finances. It supplies a range of services from accounts and payments, to credit builders and credit cards. It is unique in its focus on SMEs and their specific needs to reduce time-spent on financial tasks, which currently dominate the operating time of small businesses.

Boasting a strong profit record, and millions of customers served, Zempler Bank has proven its place in the sector. Officially a bank, the company continues to partner with fintech companies to launch new features, as it grows to deliver much-needed products to even more SMEs.
