Furthermore, expansion of Starling Bank’s Business Marketplace coincides with news that Starling now serves over 100,000 business banking customers.
Molo is an online buy-to-let mortgage lender. It launched in 2018 as the UK’s first fully digital mortgage lender. Specifically, it leverages a proprietary tech platform to deliver a fully online, paperless mortgage decision.
UnderPinned is a career-management platform for freelancers helping them to find work, manage work and get paid. For example, it has launched a full paid-for Virtual Office platform. This means that freelancers can manage every aspect of their working life from portfolio management to creating contracts and payments.
The third new entrant, PayStream, provides digital accounting, payroll and IR35 review services for contractors and freelance workers.
