About Allica Bank

Recently named by The Times newspaper as one of the UK’s Top 20 financial technology (Fintech) companies, Allica is a new bank for established small & medium sized enterprise (SME) customers. We have just closed a £100m Series C fundraise led by leading global investor TCV.

We’re building something important and impactful at Allica and we’re always looking for exceptional people to join the mission. Could that be you!
