The story

Founded in 2017 as Tail Offers Ltd (trading as Verve), the company built a cashback and rewards platform leveraging open banking and card-linking technology, targeting users of neobanks like Starling Bank and Monzo. Cashback is paid directly to users' bank accounts, removing the need for voucher codes or loyalty cards. The company is small (approximately 7 employees) and remains focused on the UK consumer rewards/cashback niche with partnerships with major retailers.
