Koodooka Launches: The Future of High-Interest Banking

By Tinesh Babu

A New Era for UK Banking

Today marks a pivotal moment in UK banking history. We're thrilled to announce the official launch of Koodooka - a revolutionary platform that's set to transform how you think about current accounts.

The Problem We're Solving

For too long, UK consumers have accepted near-zero interest rates on their current accounts while banks profit from their deposits. The average UK household keeps £8,000 in current accounts earning nothing. That's £300+ per year in lost earnings.

Meanwhile, building societies want to offer current accounts but face insurmountable barriers:

  • £10M+ infrastructure costs
  • Years of development time
  • Complex regulatory requirements
  • Limited technical expertise

Our Revolutionary Solution

Koodooka bridges this gap with a dual-sided marketplace:

For Consumers

Access high-interest current accounts from trusted building societies through one seamless app:

  • Earn up high interest rate on your everyday balance
  • Instant access to your money
  • One app to manage multiple accounts

For Building Societies

Finally offer current accounts without the traditional barriers:

  • Zero infrastructure cost - we handle everything
  • Launch in weeks, not years
  • Your brand, your products, your terms
  • Access £450 billion in UK current account deposits

Why Now?

Three converging trends make this the perfect moment:

  1. Consumer Awakening: With savings rates rising, people are questioning why current accounts still pay nothing
  2. Digital Transformation: Building societies are ready to modernize but need the right partner
  3. Regulatory Evolution: Open Banking and new frameworks enable innovative solutions

Our Vision

We believe every pound in your current account should work as hard as you do. By 2028, we aim to:

  • Help 1 million UK consumers earn real returns
  • Partner with 20+ building societies
  • Redirect £1 billion from big banks to community-focused institutions

Our founding team brings 25+ years of combined experience from tier-1 banks and fintech innovators. We've built payment systems, launched digital banks, and now we're democratizing high-interest banking.

A Personal Note

As someone who's spent years in traditional banking, I've seen firsthand how the system fails everyday savers. Koodooka isn't just about better rates - it's about fairness, transparency, and putting power back in your hands.

Thank you for joining us on this journey. Together, we're not just changing banking - we're revolutionizing it.
