Banking-as-a-Service2
Background · from LHV Bank’s own dossier

LHV Pank was founded in 1999 in Estonia and spun its UK operation out as LHV Bank Limited, obtaining a full UK banking licence in 2023 to become the first new UK bank in four years. The UK entity has positioned itself as one of Europe's largest Banking-as-a-Service providers, serving 200+ fintechs including Wise, Coinbase and Trustly and reportedly facilitating 8% of all European real-time payments. In 2025 it migrated to Tuum's cloud-native core banking platform to scale its BaaS and embedded-finance offering while also running a retail bank in the UK.
