You know your business, we know business finance.
We help business owners get the right finance in place, so they can trade, plan and grow with confidence.
Funding is the fuel companies need to grow, adapt and survive. But all too often, businesses can find it hard to secure the finance they need – there are too many confusing products, complex application forms and long waits.
When we started Funding Options in 2011, we wanted to transform the business finance market. We set out to make sure every business owner could make an informed choice, and have access to instant funding decisions.
With a panel of 120+ lender partners, we’ve helped more than 10,000 businesses get the finance they need, quickly and easily. That adds up to over £0.5B in funding for businesses in the UK and the Netherlands.
Funding Options is one of the winners in Nesta’s Open Up Challenge for Open Banking, and has been designated by HM Treasury for the bank referral scheme, to help UK SMEs find alternative finance when they're unsuccessful with the major banks.
Our Values:
People First
Stronger Together
Shaking Things Up
Constantly Learning
Never Passengers

Fintonic is the ideal app for organizing your accounts and saving money. More than 1M people are already using the app.
Fintonic allows you to have all your bank accounts, various different insurance and credit cards organised in only one space. With the app, you will be able to know how much you spend on clothes, sports, restaurants… And what is more, with Fintonic you can easily save money you can spend later to give yourself a treat.
An app that complements perfectly with the one from your bank, since it is always by your side by warning you about what others do not tell you: commissions, duplicated charges, insurances’ deadlines… Since we are not a bank, we are very clear with our users. Our only interest is that you win.
Since 2012:
- 25 million of euros were saved to our users on returned commissions
- 670,629 alerts for overdrawn accounts were sent on time to our users
- An average of 1000€ were saved per person in insurance contracts through the app
With Fintonic you can choose the products (loans, insurances…) which fit you the most between more than 50 entities. We have not won the Google Award for best financial app for nothing ;)

ING is a pioneer in digital banking and on the forefront as one of the most innovative banks in the world. As ING, we have a clear purpose that represents our conviction of people’s potential. We don’t judge, coach, or tell people how to live their lives. However big or small, modest or grand, we empower people and businesses to realise their vision for a better future. We made the promise to make banking frictionless, removing barriers to progress, and make people confident in their financial decisions. As a global bank we have a huge opportunity – and responsibility – to make an impact for the better. We can play a role by financing change, sharing knowledge, and innovating. Being sustainable is in all the choices we make—as a lender, as a partner and through the services we offer our customers
