Moneybox intends to use the funds to build team and provide an improved customer experience by offering new products and content.
Moneybox co-founder Ben Stanway said: “The traditional wealth management industry is geared to those who already have wealth – a concept that is alien to many young people.
“It creates huge barriers – including impenetrable jargon – for those who want to start saving and investing. We are determined to break that mould and make investing clear, simple and easy to achieve.”
Moneybox allows its customers save through a mixture of card transaction round ups, weekly deposits, payday boosts and one-offs.
