Akoni Hub has partnered with Griffin, the UK’s leading bank for Fintechs and payment platforms.

As the UK’s first vertically integrated Banking as a Service (BaaS) platform, Griffin is a pioneering force in digital banking. Griffin’s easy access accounts for individuals, businesses, charities, and trusts are now part of Akoni’s diverse range of instant access, notice, and fixed-rate savings products.

Griffin obtained a banking licence in March 2024, meaning it has been given the green light from the UK’s financial services regulators – the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) – to launch and operate as a bank. In April 2025, Griffin was shortlisted as a Technology Partner of the Year at the British Bank Awards 2025.

Katie Horne, Director of Bank Relations at Akoni Hub said:

‍“We are delighted to welcome Griffin to the Akoni platform. This partnership marks another milestone in our journey to expand our product offering and provide our customers with the best and most secure financial solutions available. We are committed to making financial services more accessible and inclusive for everyone and this collaboration is a testament to that mission.”

Phoebe Wallis, Chief Revenue Officer at Griffin added:

‍“Our partnership with Akoni Hub gives both their individual and business customers access to our competitive savings products, providing greater choice and flexibility as they manage their growth, wellbeing and cashflow needs.”

Akoni’s partnership with Griffin marks the beginning of an exciting chapter for both Fintech entities. Akoni’s broad client base – made up of SMEs, wealth management partners, personal customers, charities, trusts, court of protection, SIPP, SSAs, and power of attorney, can now benefit from Griffin’s easy access savings accounts, adding another banking institution to choose from and increase their FSCS protection.
