About Allica Bank

Allica is a no-nonsense business bank, built especially for established businesses with between 5 and 250 employees.

These businesses make up a third of UK employment and turnover, yet the service they get from the big banks is increasingly impersonal, inconvenient, and poor value. Allica Bank is on a mission to give established businesses the no-nonsense banking they deserve. That means a current account with no monthly fees, a relationship manager whose name and number they actually know, and technology that makes life easier, not harder.

It’s how business banking used to be, just better.

Allica was recently named as Britain's fastest-growing private company in 2024’s The Sunday Times 100, and is also the fastest-growing fintech company in the 26-year history of Deloitte’s UK Technology Fast 50 awards. It also revealed in 2023 that it achieved its first full year of profitability and had lent over £2 billion to established UK businesses.

Allica’s ambition is to gain 10% market share in the next five years in order to help change the SME market for the better.

Allica is authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Financial Services Register Number: 821851.
