OakNorth is an American neobank in the United Kingdom that offers personal accounts and business accounts with a debit card and all purchases are done through an iPhone or Android app. It only currently accepts open mobile bank accounts for those from the UK. A neobank is a more robust version of the digital banking system with a simplified, new way of providing financial services to the consumer. Neobanks, which differ from traditional banks, are more open they offer just a few kinds of financial services, such as savings or checking accounts. A neo-digital bank works on whom it targets. The end user’s opening a neobank account is not hard, just access the bank’s website, create an account and deposit money in the new account.

Tailored business banking: A collaborative approach for entrepreneurs
The neobank for entrepreneurs, by entrepreneurs OakNorth today launches its business banking service designed for the £1m-£100m mid-sized businesses (SMEs) that are underserved and ignored in the UK’s present financial system.
OakNorth was founded in September 2015 and is fast becoming the go-to neobank for scaling businesses that require fast flexible debt capital up to tens of millions of pounds. As of today, it’s lent more than £10bn, directly supporting over 40,000 new jobs and 29,000 new homes in the UK. Its customers include iconic names like Deliciously Ella, Ottolenghi, Z Hotels, Third Space and The Heartwood Collection. And it helps businesses from healthcare and specialist education to hospitality and leisure and SME housebuilding.
One of the most fundamental ways OakNorth approaches business is that it doesn’t make broad guesses to partition the economy into a dozen or so industries. But runs analysis based on massive amounts of commercial loan data from more than 270 industries. This enables it to be ultra-specialized, data-driven and innovative to cover various diverse industries and sub-sectors from which other lenders tend to back out.
The same stance OakNorth is employing with their new day-to-day business banking product. Instead of overwhelming companies with a list of products and features many of which have nothing to do with the company themselves. OakNorth is leading businesses on the journey, working directly with Founders, CFOs, CEOs, and Directors in a phased Beta launch. The idea is to make something out of the box, that can grow with entrepreneurs and their dreams companies can be added to a waiting list here. Cross-functional teams are taking the real-world data and insight they need to build something that will be value-added another thing in a sea of apps. Each business will have an OakNorth Business Partner the one you can phone or email with any questions. The business partner will get to know their business, and their strategic objectives and give them specific information about OakNorth’s offerings and services, not just a loan or savings account.
