Ben Stanway, Moneybox co-founder, commented: “At Moneybox, we help people achieve their goals and build wealth with confidence throughout their lives, whether that’s buying their first home, saving for a rainy day, investing for their future, or planning for retirement. Since our last fundraise, our customer base has nearly doubled and AUA has tripled to more than £3bn. As Moneybox continues to grow, we want our community to be able to share in our success as we move forward into the next exciting phase of growth.”
