Mettle, the NatWest-backed digital account for UK small businesses.
In brief:
- Prance brings a wealth of experience and expertise to Mettle, having worked across retail, commercial and investment banking customer businesses in a variety of product, innovation and strategy roles.
- Launched in 2018, the app-only banking service provides hard-pressed freelancers, sole traders and small businesses with a variety of easy-to-use accountancy, bookkeeping and tax-related tools to manage their business finances.
- In 2023 Mettle launched its business bank account on the NatWest licence, it can now offer customers an FSCS-protected account with a host of new features.
What does this mean?
“The self-employed have traditionally been underserved by banks, making it difficult for them to get set up quickly, get paid and be tax ready. By offering new features such as tax calculation and saving pots, Mettle has shown that banking doesn’t need to be complex,” says Prance.
