Businesses are becoming big business in banking. Unfortunately, most businesses have trouble getting fast and flexible financing.

Founded in 2013, OakNorth is a fintech bank that focuses on making loans to small- to medium-sized businesses in the U.K. Beyond launching a neobank, OakNorth has also created lending technology for other financial institutions that delivers credit decisions up to ten times faster than traditional models.

We are very fortunate to have Jackson Hull, COO of OakNorth on the Banking Transformed podcast. He will discuss the origin of OakNorth and how this fintech has grown to be one of the most valuable neobanks in the world.
