Allica Bank is a British challenger bank focused on small and medium-sized businesses. It is headquartered in London and Milton Keynes, and offers a range of lending, savings and bank account products to UK businesses.[1]
History[edit]
Allica Bank was awarded its banking licence by the Prudential Regulation Authority in 2019.[2]
In July 2020, Allica Bank appointed Richard Davies as its new CEO. Davies joined from Revolut, where he held the role of Chief Operating Officer.[3]
In November 2021, Allica Bank acquired AIB's Great British SME lending portfolio, comprised of about £600 million of loans and 2,000 customers.[4] The process was reported to have completed in August 2022.[5]
By March 2022, Allica said it has raised over £1 billion in customer deposits.[6] In July 2022, Allica Bank announced it had lent £1 billion to small and medium businesses since it launched in March 2020.[7]
In September 2022, Allica Bank reported that it had become profitable. This was put down to the growth of its lending business, with its lending balances increasing from £782 million to £1.35 billion that year.[8] In 2022, Allica reported a 500% growth in revenue.[9] It has predicted it will make £3 billion of lending between 2022 and 2025.[10]

Warwick Capital Partners led a £26 million funding round in Allica Bank in September 2020.[11]
In late-November 2021, Allica Bank announced it had closed a £110 million Series B fundraise, led by new investor Atalaya Capital Management, along with existing investor, Warwick.[12]
In June 2022, Allica Bank raised a further £55 million from existing investors Warwick and Atalaya, and British Business Investments (part of the British Business Bank).[13]
