I think this is fab news. Another example of new banks showing that customer experiences realy makes a difference. 

It just shows what can be achieved in a relatively short period of time in the world of banking, with a clear USP, good leadership, great tech and a fab understanding of exactly what your proposition is... Well done the team, its great news for Oxbury and great news for FinTech!
