Their mission is to become the UK’s greener digital bank and to help customers make greener financial choices whilst at the same time utilising technology and specialist underwriters to reimagine the remortgage process.

They pride themselves on their unique approach to lending with the ability to execute a remortgage from decision in principle to completion in just 10 days.
