Salary benchmarks

Our take

The rise of companies like Revolut, Monzo, and Starling, disrupted the consumer banking space, making it a particularly competitive market. As a result, incumbent banks have had a lot of catching up to do to compete with challenger banks for customers, and this is what 11:FS is capitalising on.

One of 11:FS's products, 11:FS Foundry, helps businesses build and launch new financial services propositions. Using 11:FS Foundry, traditional banks, neobanks, and non-banks can scale their fintech offerings at speed. Hosted on Google Cloud’s platform, it enables significantly increased uptime, global reach, and strong security and encryption. The company's other products include 11:FS Pulse, Shop, and YEARS.

11:FS's founding team has significant digital banking experience, including the co-founder of both Starling and Monzo, as well as people who have worked on innovative projects at big banks like Barclays. With a growing list of partners, the company is well-placed to give great advice to banks, whether they're incumbent players or challenger banks, powering the future of embedded finance.
