What we're all about
We believe there's something different about people who start their own business – a unique spirit that sets them apart. A blend of drive, ambition and self belief – people who have mettle.
So we've built an app that embraces that spirit – one that you can rely on and makes managing your finances as fast and simple as possible.

We're a growing team of technologists, creatives, researchers and analysts from different backgrounds brought together to explore new ideas and a fresh approach – but with the security of an established bank behind us.
Our mission is clear
Mettle gives you the freedom to run your business.We believe that anyone should have the opportunity to start a business, without fear or the stress of not knowing how to manage their finances.
That's why we've built Mettle to provide small business owners with the resources they need to effectively manage the financial side of their business.
Built around you
We look to inspire our customers by harnessing the passion and resilience that comes with building a great business. We're an ambitious and collaborative team always looking for ways to improve and provide an even better customer experience.

Our journey so far
Eight of us working on an idea. We kicked things off by surveying 800 potential customers and conducting 20 interviews. Our strategy became clear.
We launched Mettle on TestFlight and invited customers to work with us to develop it further.
With a wealth of experience in FinTech, Marieke Flament took the reins to drive Mettle forward. Marieke quickly established a new vision for the company, taking us beyond what it means to be a business bank account.
We partnered with FreeAgent and Xero to give our customers access to accounting software.
Our first transaction. We bought a mince pie for the NatWest CEO with the first Mettle card.
What a journey so far. Working with customers in our early access phase helped to shape the future of Mettle and make it accessible to businesses across the UK.
We worked with our first hundred beta customers to help define the experience on Android. A few months later we launched in the Play Store, allowing more business owners to experience the benefits of Mettle.
