About us
Transforming the credit scoring system.
How it all began
After working in the US for a number of years, Freddy returned to the UK. Having had no recent financial activity in the UK, he had a ‘thin’ credit file. This not only meant that he had limited credit options, but those that were available to him came with higher interest rates and restrictions.
After further research it became apparent that he was not alone and that many people in the UK face difficulties when trying to get access to affordable credit.
With a vision to remove that challenge from the market, Freddy co-founded Credit Kudos. Since then, the team at Credit Kudos have been on a mission to provide fair credit for all, harnessing the power of Open Banking.
Transforming credit scoring
Our mission is to transform the credit scoring system to provide fairer credit for all; helping people access responsible finance they can afford, when they need it.
Who we are
We’re a venture capital backed, fast-growing technology company on a mission to build a more inclusive financial system from our home in east London.
