Allica Bank, one of Europe’s fastest-growing fintech firms and the only UK bank built specifically for established small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), has chosen Lendscape as its core platform for asset finance. The decision follows a successful sandbox trial and aligns with Allica’s mission to deliver a better, technology-driven business banking experience.
After a year of rapid growth, Allica continues to cement its reputation as a major force in the SME banking sector. To support its next phase of expansion, the bank has adopted Lendscape’s API-first platform, designed to streamline operations, scale efficiently, and meet evolving market demands.
“Our growth reflects the strong demand for smarter business banking,” said Niv Subramanian, Deputy CEO at Allica Bank. “We’ve made significant investments in digital infrastructure to support scalability and deliver tailored services to SMEs. Lendscape stood out for its flexibility, ease of integration, and ability to adapt to our fast-moving ecosystem.”
The Lendscape platform will empower Allica to integrate seamlessly with other systems, automate processes, and respond quickly to changes in the financial landscape—key requirements for a challenger bank with bold ambitions.
“We share Allica’s vision for transforming SME finance and making funding more accessible,” said Steve Taplin, Chief Product Officer at Lendscape. “Our long-term focus on asset finance technology, combined with transparency and deep industry knowledge, ensures we can deliver real value. By providing early sandbox access, we allowed Allica to experience our platform’s performance and flexibility firsthand.”
Conrad Ford, Chief Product & Strategy Officer at Allica, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of collaboration and shared values:
“Lendscape impressed us from the start with their openness and technical strength. Their team demonstrated a clear understanding of our goals, and their API-first approach gives us the speed and agility we need to keep evolving and exceeding customer expectations.”
The partnership marks a significant step forward for both organizations as they work to enhance financial services for UK SMEs.
“Allica is bold, fast-moving, and relentlessly customer-focused—exactly the kind of partner we thrive with,” added Sunny Bhachu, Regional Commercial Director at Lendscape. “We’re proud to support their journey and excited to help them scale confidently.”
