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.
