A Cheshire-based fintech has almost doubled the number of its account holders to 100,000 last year, despite the coronavirus pandemic.
Alternative banking solution Suits Me said that in the nine months since the first national lockdown in March 2020, it saw an extra 45,147 accounts opened.
It also grew headcount from 13 to 35 and launched its first TV campaign, on BT Sport, Dave, Dave Ja Vu and Sky Atlantic.
Managing director Richard Lynch said: “Suits Me is committed to providing a suitable banking solution for everyone. So, I’m delighted to say that our latest achievements are a great stepping stone to further extend our reach to financially excluded individuals, who are eager to take their next step on the banking ladder.
“We’re expecting continued growth throughout 2021 and will continue to work hard for all of our account holders.”
