Loqbox’s mission is to end financial exclusion globally.

This means giving everyone the chance to achieve their goals, most of which cost money. For many people, their goals are unachievable because they have not had an opportunity to build a positive financial profile, they don’t have sufficient savings or they don’t understand how to make the financial system work for them.

Loqbox is a multi award-winning business that has already enabled hundreds of thousands of people to build their credit score with the three main credit reference agencies and master their money while they save. It works best for people early in their financial life or for anyone trying to improve their relationship with money.

When they have finished their journey, Loqbox customers have a better credit score, a nest egg of savings and the ability to achieve their goals. Ultimately, Loqbox helps everyone to get the things they want without money getting in the way.
