    Who we are and what we’re doing:

    Moneybox is a FinTech startup building an app that will make it easier than ever to save and invest.
    Focusing on young people, our app will enable users to round up their spare change into a Stocks & Shares ISA. So, when you spend £2.70 on your morning coffee, Moneybox will enable you to round up to the nearest pound and set aside 30p.
    Users can choose from a range of simple starting options and begin investing with as little as £1. We’re currently in beta, and launching very soon.

    We’ve well funded, having received funding from some of the most recognised individuals in the investment industry and VC funds Oxford Capital and Samos Investments.

    Our co-founders, Charlie and Ben, have a successful track record in consumer apps and investment management. We are currently a team of 13 based in CargoWorks, a co-working space near the Southbank. The team have experience across a range of companies including Google. Hotels.com, MoneySuperMarket, dunnhumby and ASOS.

    
We’re building the team further and want to bring on board a brilliant QA engineer to complement our best in class tech, product and marketing teams.

    We’ve been featured in TechCrunch, FT, Memo and lots of other publications.
