Norris Koppel

Founder & CEO

Norris is serial entrepreneur and currently CEO & Founder of Monese, a online-bank enabling anyone to open a UK current account in 120 seconds, using a mobile app.

Monese’s breakthrough technology can validate the identity of customers in real time. This enables the company to offer accounts to the hundreds of thousands of expats and migrants who find it slow and painful to open bank accounts with major banks across Europe. Monese’s fully-featured UK current account comes with cheap global payments and a contactless debit card.

Norris founded Monese after his first-hand experience of the hassle involved with opening a bank account in a new country. Prior to starting Monese, he built multiple FinTech companies in the UK.
