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.


About Growth Finance

In 2023, Allica launched an innovative new Growth Finance product which delivers working capital funding with facility sizes between £1m-£10m. Growth Finance was the first differentiated lending product that Allica introduced and complements the excellent reputation we had already gained.

We are building a team of specialists who will be instrumental in continue to build on the exciting success already achieved..
