Funding Xchange

We are honoured to announce that FXE has been invited to join the @TechNation #FutureFifty 2024 cohort. We delighted to join prominent scale ups like Starling Bank, Monzo Bank, Skyscanner and ClearScore that have transformed their respective sectors. It stands out that previous #FutureFifty scale ups have had a clear mission and an amazing team that delivered on the mission. FXE has from inception focused on making commercial funding more accessible, more affordable and more sustainable. This mission still drives and inspires us today. But it is our amazing team that delivers on this vision every day, dares to cross unchartered waters and relishes every challenge put our way. #Unchartered #RelishtheChallenge

A business is only a collection of individuals striving to make a difference. We are incredibly lucky to have a talented group of people who are committed to making a difference every day. FXE is fortunate to regularly welcome talented interns who are still at university and are exploring what the world of business can offer them. Over the years, we have found that internships are a valuable investment: We have seen interns own projects that have a direct impact on what we are delivering to clients. Our teams have loved working collaboratively with interns. Our culture has been enriched by interns. This year, Joseph joined our Analytics team to collaborate with Erikas Kamaitis to explore affordability models in SME lending - contributing to FXE's thought-leadership in the assessment of SME profiles. Joseph recently presented the insights from the project to the entire company before his return to university. Today, fewer internship opportunities are available as mixed and remote working has taken a heavy toll on summer placements. We hope this reminder of how much both sides have to gain may just lead to a couple more places being created...

Has the time for reforming Mandatory Bank Referrals come? The prize for getting it right is significant: Tackling the underlying reasons for bank declines - by helping businesses take simple actions to boost their credit profile - has the potential to unlock £3B in additional funding to UK businesses. Katrin Herrling's article in the NACFB Magazine outlines how reform of the Mandatory Bank Referral scheme can contribute to improving access to finance and getting the eco-system to collaborate more effectively.

At least for us. #Normal #Femaleleaders Katrin Herrling Laura Wathen Michelle Carr Lauren K White Kirsten Knight Aamara Khan

We are delighted to announce that Barclays has backed FXE as the lead investor in our client-led Series B funding round.   This investment not only validates but also accelerates our strategic vision of collaborating with the most influential and forward-thinking players in the industry. We are looking forward to working closely with Barclays, and other key members of the industry, to digitise and transform business lending.   This significant milestone wouldn't have been possible without the incredible support of our investors, dedicated team, and the unwavering trust of our clients and partners. We're deeply grateful for the vote of confidence in our vision and strategy.   Series B marks a pivotal moment in working towards our vision of making it easier and fairer for small businesses to find access to the right finance.   https://lnkd.in/e3t-fNjM Hannah Bernard OBE, Abdul Qureshi; Sridhar Somaraju; Ryan Hayward; Pietro Sordelli; Paul Bastow; Paul Wainwright; Katrin Herrling; Sarah Hollyhead; Laura Wathen; Matt Collinge; Jeremy Lemer; Adrian McMichael; Erikas Kamaitis; Liam Mayoux-Andrews; Sam Warren; Christian Roelofs; Simon Featherstone; FORESIGHT VCT PLC; Richard Lewis; Gideon Shmuel; Izi Petri; David Marshall; Baker Botts

What does it take to fly fighter jet? Apparently, if you want to be the pilot, extraordinarily long arms... Thank you to Helen Seymour and Nic Steevenson for sharing with the FXE team what is expected of those taking on one of the most demanding jobs. You inspired all of us... and made it 'cool' to talk about Standard Operating Procedures. Could not have wished for a better way to kick-off our offsite and help us explore how we can tackle the challenges we face with humility, professionalism and dedication to the mission. Thank you!

Brilliant initiative by Simply Asset Finance for a great cause! Congrats to all involved! Our team can't wait to join you next year...
