2016 — 2021

Traditional banking can be an absolute drag. Paperwork, long wait times and clunky apps. It was time to fix that.

I joined as one of the first 100 employees and spent five years designing core product experiences during a period of rapid, sometimes chaotic, growth.

I was hands-on across building features from 0 → 1 solving traditional banking problems with disruptive approached. Work here included building savings features like Spaces, Premium Memberships, Growth and activation, and Consumer loans.

The goal was to build the first bank the world loves to use, and I feel we've made a solid dent with around 4.8 million active customers today.

Spaces

Money has always lived in mental accounts. We just made them visible. 50% of users adopted Spaces.

Money has always lived in mental accounts. We just made them visible. Drag, drop, and earmark your way to goals that finally feel real.

Memberships

Membership read as a payments tier. We rebuilt it as a lifestyle one. Curated perks, insurance options, and personalised card selection that earned the premium price.

Credit

Credit that bridges life's in-between moments. Clear terms and visible control at every step, from approval through to repayment.
