About Allica Bank

Allica is the UK's fastest growing company - and the fastest-growing financial technology (Fintech) firm ever. Our purpose is to help established SMEs, one of the last major underserved opportunities in Fintech.


Established SMEs are the backbone of local communities - representing over a third of our economy - yet have been largely neglected both by traditional high street banks and modern fintech providers.

By combining commercial strategy with deep customer insight, we uncover opportunities through experimentation, data, and creativity. Growth at Allica is both a science and an art - every touchpoint we build supports our mission to deliver the banking experience established SMEs truly deserve.
