About Fintech Farm
We are a UK fintech creating successful neobanks in emerging markets in partnerships with local traditional banks.
Our success builds upon a best-in-class product, customer experience, emotional engagement, viral marketing and deep credit decisioning expertise.
One of our founders had previously co-founded a highly successful Eastern European neobank with a multi-million customer base.
We launched our first market with Leobank in Azerbaijan in 2021, where we have already established market-leading positions. Our next market was Vietnam, where we launched Liobank in early 2023 and also gained solid traction.
We have a few more new markets in the pipeline for the next 12 months, and we are starting to build the team there.

People. We are all business partners in our company. Each of us thinks big, acts as if we own the place, and never takes “No” as an answer. We work with strong individuals whom we empower and trust rather than micromanage. Common sense rather than formal policies prevails in all that we do. We always stay curious and open-minded. We embrace the We over Me culture.
