Our take
Two of Yonder's founders moved to the UK from Australia and despite having a stable income and a mortgage back in Australia, struggled to access high-quality credit products. After realising this was the case for over 8.3M people in the UK, they wanted to make money rewarding and credit-empowering; thus, Yonder was born.
The company promises to offer a modern rewards credit/debit card with no foreign exchange fees, worldwide travel insurance, and more. The team has significant experience in this space, having worked for multiple years at ClearScore, one of the UK's largest consumer credit marketplaces. By prioritising the customer, not the bank, Yonder offers a highly appealing alternative to traditional credit card options.
Further, the company has secured significant additional funding to expand into new verticals and launch in new UK cities. And with paid and free membership options, Yonder is widening their market and making sure there's an option for everyone.
