About Abound
At Abound, we are at the forefront of transforming consumer lending across the UK and beyond. By leveraging cutting-edge AI and Open Banking data, we empower individuals with access to fair and affordable personal finance options. Unlike traditional lenders who primarily rely on credit scores, we analyze the complete financial picture - considering spending habits and repayment capabilities to develop a more profound and precise understanding of each customer's unique financial landscape.
Our success is evident as we have disbursed over £1.3 billion in loans directly to customers, achieving a market-leading credit performance - with only 3 defaults for every 10 anticipated by the industry. Remarkably, we achieved profitability just 2.5 years post-launch.
With over £2 billion in backing from prestigious investors including Citi, GSR Ventures, and Deutsche Bank, we are recognized among Europe’s fastest-growing fintechs (Sifted, CNBC). As we expand into new markets and product lines, we seek ambitious individuals who are eager to learn quickly, assume ownership, and grow alongside us.
