Abound

Here at Abound, we’re passionate about championing talent and investing in the future.   This year, we proudly launched our first Graduate Scheme in tech and science — and received 2,300 applications!   We’ve welcomed four brilliant graduates - Ryan Bunting , Jie Li, Joseph Parkinson, and Archie Stevens — who are already making an impact. This marks a big step in building the next generation of talent at Abound.

A milestone moment for Abound!   Last month Abound surpassed £1 billion in total lending — less than five years since we began in a small London flat.   It’s a proud milestone, and one that belongs to everyone who’s been part of the journey: our team, investors, and partners.   From day one, we set out to make credit fairer and smarter — using open-banking data and AI to understand real financial lives and deliver better outcomes for customers.   The result is a model that works for consumers and for capital providers alike — proof that responsible innovation can scale.   Here’s to the next chapter, and to changing credit for good.
