Why Fintech Farm is a great place to be 

We are a UK fintech creating successful neobanks in emerging markets in partnerships with local traditional banks.
Our success builds upon a best-in-class product, customer experience, emotional engagement, viral marketing, and deep credit decision-making expertise.
One of our founders had previously co-founded a highly successful Eastern European neobank with a multi-million customer base.

We launched our first market with Leobank in Azerbaijan in 2021, where we have already established market-leading positions. Our next market was Vietnam, where we launched Liobank in early 2023 and gained solid traction.
India is our next market, and we are looking to launch in the next six months. We are currently building a core team there.

Our ambition. We are looking to become a leading consumer digital bank brand in each market we operate making it easy for consumers to interact with their money. You could be a part of this exciting journey.

Our culture.

Customers. We always go above and beyond to provide an amazing customer experience. We serve our customers the way we would want our mom to be served. And who said that banking has to be boring? We make our apps not just easy but fun to use.

People. We are all business partners in our company. Each of us thinks big, acts as if we own the place, and never takes “No” as an answer. We work with strong individuals whom we empower and trust rather than micromanage. Common sense rather than formal policies prevails in all that we do. We always stay curious and open-minded. We embrace the We over Me culture.
