О компании
- About Moneybox At Moneybox, our mission is to give everyone the means to get more out of life. We're guided by our belief that wealth isn't about the money, it's about the means to more - more freedom, opportunities, possibilities, and peace of mind. Moneybox is an award-winning wealth management platform, helping over one and a half million people build wealth throughout their lives, whether they’re saving and investing, buying their first home, or planning for retirement. We are FCA-regulated, look after more than £23 billion of customer assets, and have grown from under £5 billion in three years, with annualised revenue in excess of £150 million. We have done this while growing profitably year on year and building a fortress balance sheet, so our ambitions are funded from a position of strength rather than dependence on the next round. The next phase includes the launch of a financial advice service and expansion into B2B, which means the finance function is scaling in complexity as well as size.
