About Zempler Bank
What is Zempler Bank?
Zempler Bank is a UK challenger bank focused on small businesses, providing business current accounts, credit and payments to hundreds of thousands of UK SMEs. Established in 2005 and formerly known as Cashplus, it became one of the UK's first fintech banks to earn a full banking licence and rebranded to Zempler in 2024. Around 400 people work across London and Liverpool. CEO Rich Wagner: "Our strong, inclusive culture is vitally important to making Zempler Bank an employer of choice."

Glassdoor reviews describe "an industry leading flexible working policy, with requirement to be in the office once a month", and the bank even offers the opportunity to work abroad when visiting family or extending a holiday.
