Announcing the plans, ClearScore Group’s chief executive officer and co-founder, Justin Basini, said:

“Open Banking has the potential to transform the credit industry and give people the opportunity to actively take control of their financial wellbeing. The tremendous growth we have seen in consumers securely sharing their banking data to simplify their personal finances shows clearly that open banking is moving to the mainstream.”

“Money Dashboard [a B2B personal financial management data business which ClearScore acquired a few weeks ago] enhances our offer to customers and users. And we are delighted that Edinburgh is to be the location for ClearScore’s second UK technology hub.”

"Scotland has a rich history of establishing and growing leading technology businesses, and we are privileged to now have access to a large, highly skilled talent pool, enabling us to continue to drive ClearScore forward to the benefit of our 16 million global users,” added the CEO.

Kate Forbes, the Scottish Government’s Cabinet Secretary for Finance & Economy, welcomed the announcement by ClearScore, saying:

“The Scottish Government welcomes the expansion of the ClearScore Group into Edinburgh. This move will bring a significant number of secure, high-value jobs to the city and further strengthen Scotland’s position as a leading hub for Digital Financial Services.”

We look forward to supporting ClearScore’s ambitions in Scotland as the company scales up its offering to a growing user base,” said Ms Forbes.
