“Can a property management SaaS become the operating and financial system for UK landlords and letting agents by embedding open banking, credit checks, and accounting into the workflow?”
Founded 2012 by landlords Marc and Rochelle Trup as a cloud-based property management platform for UK landlords and letting agents. Scaled through a series of seed rounds and marketplace integrations (Xero, Rightmove, Zoopla) between 2016-2018. Acquired by Germany's Aareon AG in December 2020, positioning Arthur as the UK anchor of Aareon's pan-European proptech portfolio. Since acquisition, the company has focused on embedded finance workflows — Live Bank Feed via Yapily open banking, TransUnion credit checks, and Veyco referencing — bringing lightweight financial infrastructure into the property management workflow rather than becoming a fintech itself.
