Upside Saving

Status: Funded

Sep 1st 2020 - Oct 21st 2020

Upside is a financial technology entity that allows its users to earn cashbacks on current purchases so that they can save on their next purchase. The app uses an open-banking-marketing-platform that enables customers to automatically start saving by harvesting upside from their everyday spending and allows retailers to sell more inventory. Upside claims that 11.5 million people in the UK have less than £100 in savings. It aims to solve this problem and become a contender in the cashback segment. Since its incorporation in January 2020, Upside has raised £540,000+ from founders and SEIS Angel Investors. It has also signed-up 700+ consumers as private alpha testers to smoothen the app. The company will use the investment to onboard more retail partners, build out a self-serve retailer platform, build out Upside-as-a-Service Application Programming Interface (API) gateway, and prepare for Seed funding in Q1 of 2021.
