Busy month, eh?

300,000 of us 🙌

The movement is growing! There are now 300,000 people chatting, budgeting, and saving with Cleo.

From Stoke-on-Trent to Tennessee — thank you. We’ve got the opportunity to change finance for the better, making it work for you. Friendly, simple intelligence that makes money bearable. Our MO.

What’s next for the UK:

  • Brand new budget 📈 Got a weekly salary? Custom budgeting period? It’s on its way!
  • Investment 🌱 Soon you’ll be able to watch those Cleo savings grow…
  • Credit 👊 Lending’s broken —we’re looking at how we can make it work for you.

100,000 USA

100,000 of the Cleo community are based in the US of A. We only launched in March!

We’ll soon be ending the ‘alpha’ stateside — with 4000 total new users rolling in every day, we’re poised to launch a fully-fledged US product.

Coming soon to the US:

  • 💫 Automatic saving. We’re bringing it stateside.
  • 🎯 New and improved budget, including smarter detection of bills and salary.*
  • 🍕Send money to your friends. Person-to-person payments is coming…
  • 🍷 Smarter categorisation. Cleo’s learning.

Oh, Canada

It took us two days to launch in Canada.

Plaid, our third-party partner, integrated with Canadian banks on Wednesday 23rd May.

We were in Canada by Thursday.

So far:

  • Over 1000 people signed up on the first day 🙌
  • Most commonly asked query? ‘Balance’, obviously.
  • We’re working on improving the Canadian service asap ✔️We’ll keep you updated.

We’re hiring ⭐️

Want to get involved? We’re hiring Ruby devs, operations, and a visual designer.

  • Did you know that the term ‘fortnightly’ isn’t really used in the USA? There’s no limit to what we’re learning from the US Community.
