About Allica bank Allica is the UK's fastest growing company - and the fastest-growing financial technology (fintech) firm ever.
Our purpose is to help established SMEs, one of the last major underserved opportunities in fintech.
Established SMEs are the backbone of local communities - representing over a third of our economy - yet have been largely neglected both by traditional high street banks and modern fintech providers
About our Technology function
We are rare amongst banks in that our senior leadership team includes backgrounds at world-leading fintech's, which shows in their active engagement with our cross-functional Product Squads, and in our bank-wide adoption of modern tools & techniques such as Scrum/Kanban and Jira.
We are working on one of the last untapped fintech opportunities, which is banking to established small & medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
We are leveraging Azure Tech Stack to build scalable and highly available applications using architectural patterns like microservices and micro-frontends.
