Koodooka Launches: The Future of High-Interest Banking
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:
- Consumer Awakening: With savings rates rising, people are questioning why current accounts still pay nothing
- Digital Transformation: Building societies are ready to modernize but need the right partner
- 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

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.
