Meet our founders

Outdated credit scores are restricting opportunity and raising costs for too many people. Coming to the UK, we faced the same obstacles and were frustrated that personal finance has not changed for decades. We are building Abound to create a fairer, more personalised approach to credit
Gerald, Co-founder & CEO
When I moved to the UK, I was unable to get a loan despite having a good job and salary. This was because all the lenders relied on credit scores and statistical averages. We’ve created a better way by using data to truly get to know the unique person behind each application. This allows us to lend to more people at cheaper rates, all while derisking our decisions
Michelle, Co-founder & COO
