The financial sector is experiencing a boom in the UK, and new financial startups have sprung up to meet the growing demand. This article takes a look at some of the more promising ones. These companies include Revolut, Bondsmith, Carmoola, and Hastee.

Revolut
Revolut bills itself as a "london based 20m series coatue accel reynolds altfi" that provides a range of services to customers in one convenient package. Once signed up, users get a debit card and e-wallet that they can use for both online and in-store purchases. They can also purchase stocks and cryptocurrencies, as well as mobile phone insurance and travel insurance.

Revolut is a British fintech company with global ambitions. With investors including SoftBank and Tiger Global, Revolut wants to become a global super-app that combines banking, payments, and credit cards into one single app. The company was granted a banking license by the European Central Bank in 2018, and it has already applied for a full license to operate in the U.K. and Lithuania. Revolut currently has over 16 million customers worldwide.

Carmoola
Carmoola is a financial app that gives customers a virtual card to buy a car, which they can pay back in installments. The company has raised PS27 million in a seed round, including funding from Jaguar Land Rover's investment fund. This seed funding will help the start-up launch the early stages of its business. Carmoola has already secured investment from some of the biggest angels in the industry.

The company aims to disrupt the car finance industry, a market that has lagged behind in the fintech revolution. By providing an easy-to-use app, it aims to give consumers more control over their finances and make the process as transparent as possible. The app can help you pay for your new car in under three minutes and gives you the flexibility to spread the cost of your purchase across multiple payments. The app can also help you save money on fuel, and it has discounts for eco-friendly cars.

Hastee
Hastee is a financial app that empowers employees to access their earned pay whenever they need it. It also provides financial education and tools to make better financial decisions. This app has the potential to make a significant difference in the financial wellbeing of UK workers. James Herbert, the company's CEO and founder, spoke to Startups about his goals and ambitions for the company. He also discussed the importance of financial education in a world where financial stress is a serious problem.

Hastee's goal is to solve the nation's reliance on credit by providing employees with flexible financial solutions. It offers its employees access to up to 50% of their earned pay on demand. This innovative concept aims to be a responsible alternative to overdraft facilities, payday lenders, and credit card providers.
