About tell.

tell. was founded by David Monty and Tony Poole, who have spent more than 25 years building and operating technology businesses across banking, payments and regulated financial services.

Having built global banking and payment platforms, we understand the operational realities behind regulated financial ecosystems, not just the theory.

Today, tell. supports financial institutions across open banking, account verification and evolving smart data ecosystems throughout the UK and Europe.

Our mission is to make technology that is a force for good by enabling a truly open ecosystem that helps our customers and the community, while always striving to do the right thing, within an enjoyable and fulfilling working environment for our colleagues and industry partners.

Social purpose – why it matters

Banking, finance & payments… it’s all about money, right?

We don’t think so.

We believe that well-built fintech can be a force for good, providing fair and equitable access to services for all. A well-run company can be a pleasure to work with, for employees and customers alike. And a well thought-through product can produce outcomes that benefit real people in more ways, more often, than one that is designed simply to make money for shareholders.

Start simple. Stay scalable. Only with tell.

Launch fast. Expand when you’re ready.
