About the Company

Rated 'Excellent' on Trustpilot
Ranked #1 in 2024's The Sunday Times 100 list of Britain's fastest-growing private companies
Fourth on LinkedIn's '2024 Top UK Startups' list

Allica is a bank built especially for established businesses with between 5 and 250 employees.

These businesses make up a third of UK employment and turnover, yet the service they get from the big banks is increasingly impersonal, inconvenient, and poor value. We don't think that's right.

Allica Bank is on a mission to give established businesses the banking they deserve. That means a current account with a great interest rate. A relationship manager whose name and number they actually know. And technology that makes life easier, not harder.

It's proving to be a winning proposition. Allica was recently named as Britain's fastest-growing private company in 2024's The Sunday Times 100. We're also the fastest-growing fintech company in the 26-year history of Deloitte's UK Technology Fast 50 awards. In 2023, we announced we had lent over PS2 billion to UK SMEs, raised PS2.6 billion in deposits, and become profitable, all in our first four years of business.

From our offices in Milton Keynes, London and Manchester, we're offering business banking how it used to be, just better.
