Moneybox's take on their challenges in 2021

Ben Stanway headshot
Ben Stanway
Co-founder

In the past year we’ve hit a series of exciting milestones at Moneybox, including growing our fantastic team to over 170 people, reaching £1bn in assets and completing one of the most popular crowdfunding campaigns in UK history with over 16,500 people becoming shareholders. From offering customers the chance to invest the spare change from daily card purchases into a Stocks & Shares ISA four years ago, we’re now offering a range of saving and investing products to help our growing community of over 500,000 save and invest for their future.

Looking ahead we’re excited to continue to grow our team, and build even more products and tools to help our customers achieve their financial goals, whether that’s saving for retirement, a rainy day, or their first home.

Otta's take on Moneybox

Theo Margolius headshot
Theo Margolius
COO of Otta

Moneybox followed in the wake of a whole new generation of digital finance apps, differentiating itself with a range of investment and saving features that Monzo and Revolut wouldn't develop for years to come.

Their marketing targets an untapped demographic of younger people who feel disillusioned with the jargon and complexity of traditional wealth management. With Junior ISAs and a £1 minimum investment, their services are certainly more accessible than the investment banks.

Nowadays, Moneybox is breaking ground again by offering Socially Responsible Investment options. They've partnered with Old Mutual to offer portfolios based on ESG indexes, capturing the attention of progressive first-time investors.

The future looks bright: Series D funding awarded in 2022 will be used to build Moneybox's brand and grow its customer base. It is also releasing a new investing plan for its customers which focuses on long-term wealth generation.
