UK digital banking market is estimated to grow at a significant growth rate of 8.4% over the forecast period to hit over $2.5 billion in 2025 from nearly $1.5 billion in 2018. UK is one of those countries where transaction methods are rapidly evolving with the digital technology being one of the supporting pillars for this transformation of financial services. Cash payments are continuously decreasing with the evolution of advanced technology in the financial sector. Around 62% of the total payments in 2006 were made through cash which has reduced to 40% in 2016 and it is estimated to reduce to 21% in 2026 in the country, according to the UK Finance Department. With the increasing digital payments, financial institutions are tapping into digital banking services. For instance, in January 2019, PayPal partnered with Temenos to use its T24 banking platform to support its businesses in many geographies, including UK. 

UK has become a competitive market for digital banking with the presence of digital challenger banks such as Revolut that competes with a string of start-ups offering app-based current accounts including Monzo and Starling Bank. While Atom Bank and Tandem, being other digital challenger banks, have built businesses focused on mortgages and credit cards. In July 2019, UK-based digital challenger bank Atom Bank, a provider of personal and banking services through a smartphone app, has raised a $62 million round from BBVA, Toscafund, Woodford Patient Capital Trust and funds advised by Perscitus LLP. This brings the total amount raised by the company to $554 million.
