To serve and empower businesses in the Missing Middle, ensuring each and every one of them has the right tools, insights, and support at every stage of their growth journey with us.
Our take
The cost-of-living crisis has put pressure on small and medium-sized businesses, making it harder for them to access the financing they need to thrive. And traditional banks often overlook these businesses, leaving a gap in the market for tailored financial solutions.
OakNorth is filling this gap, with its digital bank that provides loans to lower mid-market businesses. By leveraging advanced technology and data analytics, it offers better lending solutions compared to traditional banks.
Its impact is growing too. As of early 2025, it surpassed $1B in lending to US businesses since launching operations there in mid-2023. This is a huge milestone and one that reflects the demand for its services. With this success, the company is in a great position to continue expanding and helping even more businesses achieve their growth objectives.
