Salary benchmarks
Our take
Kixy is a UK fintech looking to shake up the market by blending financial tools with social features. It's an exciting premise, and its soon-to-launch app promises to offer payments, transfers, and accounts designed to be simple and community-driven.
The company's focus on people overlooked by traditional financial services is what really sets it apart. Instead of throwing numbers and charts at users, Kixy wants to build financial confidence through connection, and it aims to do just that with its recent partnership with the British Wrestling Association. This partnership is helping bring the platform to 80 clubs across the UK to support financial well-being in local communities.
The company is still in the early stages, but the future looks very exciting. It's planning to roll out AI-powered financial tools next year to help users make smarter decisions with less stress. And more partnerships are on the horizon, all chosen to match its community-focused mission.
