When I launched 10x in 2016 there were two questions that I wanted to solve. One – why don’t banks work better for their customers? And two – why hasn’t technology created true transformation in the financial services industry? As a business we have applied our deep financial industry domain expertise and cloud native technology understanding to provide a platform that is fully fit for purpose, has enabled us to secure $187 million Series C funding, and is now used by leading global financial institutions including JPMorgan Chase and Westpac.”
