Start-up name:<\/strong> ClearScore
\nFounder: <\/strong>Justin Basini
\nStarted in: <\/strong>July 2015
\nBased in: <\/strong>London

Shortlisted categories:<\/h3>\n

Venture Funded Business of the Year<\/a>, Tech Business of the Year<\/a><\/p>\n

The ClearScore story:<\/h3>\n

On a mission to “help every single person in the UK to master their money”, ClearScore allows users free access to their credit report so they can monitor their financial situation.<\/p>\n

Offering unbiased information about the best and cheapest financial products available, ClearScore’s ultimate goal is that “no one ever overpays for their credit”.<\/p>\n

In December 2015, the start-up launched its first app – which trended as the most popular free finance app on the App store that month -and it remains in the top 10 free finance apps in the iTunes store.<\/p>\n

This was followed by an AppleWatch app, which allowed users to check their credit score by simply glancing at their watch – a UK first.<\/p>\n

In June 2016, ClearScore launched a new ‘timeline’ feature. A tool that allows customers access to a ‘big picture’ view of their finance and charts the relationship between different aspects of a person’s finances including their score, long term and short term debt – letting people see how and why their credit score has changed over time.<\/p>\n

Why ClearScore made our shortlist:<\/h3>\n

Claiming to have a 2.5 million users with an average rate of 10,000 new sign-ups every day, ClearScore’s guarantee of providing a free service forever makes it easy to see why so many people are flocking to the service.<\/p>\n
