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.

Established SMEs are one of the last underserved opportunities in UK fintech. They are the backbone of local communities - representing over a quarter of our economy - yet have been largely neglected both by traditional high street banks and modern fintech providers. We’re here to change that. We’ve already established a clear competitive advantage, and that should only increase as we scale.

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!
