What the data shows so far
  • Activation is strong: 68% of verified signups connect a card — a sign the onboarding promise lands.
  • Retention concentrates around power users: our top user has added 13 cards and fires 74 events a week, validating the optimiser habit.
  • Open Banking adoption is real: 84% of verified users have linked a bank account, proving the trust model works.
Small numbers deliberately — we haven't run a single paid ad yet. The seed is to flip that switch.

Billions wasted on the wrong card swipe

UK consumers hold an average of 2.7 credit cards each. Almost none of them know which card earns the most at which merchant, at any given moment.

💸

£2.1 Billion Unclaimed

Cashback and rewards sitting unearned each year because UK cardholders use the wrong card at the wrong moment, or don't know their rewards expire.

£2.1B/yr
🧩

Complexity is the enemy

Reward structures differ by card, by merchant category, by month. Understanding them requires hours of research that nobody has time to do.

2.7 cards avg
🔍

What people do today

They guess at the till. They check TopCashback or Quidco after the fact. They use MoneySavingExpert once when applying — then never revisit. Nothing tells them which card to tap, right now, at this shop, before they pay. That's the gap.

Guess → regret

The card. The moment. The recommendation.

Rewards4All connects your cards via Open Banking, learns your spending patterns, and pushes the right card recommendation before you tap to pay.

🏦

Open Banking Integration

FCA-regulated TrueLayer connection reads your real spending history across all cards. No manual entry, no guessing.

📍

Location-Aware Nudges

iOS geofencing detects when you're near Tesco, Sainsbury's, or Costa, and notifies you which card earns the most before you walk in.

🤖

AI Reward Optimisation

Proprietary engine maps 60+ UK cards' reward structures, bonus categories, and merchant-specific rates in real time.

📊

Rewards Dashboard

See what you've earned, what's expiring, and your best-performing card across categories, all in one clean interface.

Three tailwinds converging in 2026

The UK market conditions are working in our favour right now. Our job with the seed is to establish a credible foothold before a better-funded entrant arrives.

£224B

UK credit card spend

Annual credit card spend accelerating post-pandemic. Consumers are reward-conscious for the first time, but have no tool to act on it.

2019

Open Banking is mature

UK pioneered Open Banking globally. APIs are stable, adoption is mainstream, and consumer trust in bank-linked apps has crossed the tipping point.

50%

SEIS tax relief

Investors putting money in now benefit from 50% income tax relief on up to £200K. Maximum upside, maximum tax protection, at the earliest stage.

TAM / SAM / SOM: a clear, winnable market

We don't need to invent behaviour. We need to serve UK consumers who already use credit cards for rewards but have no smart tool to maximise them.

Affiliate revenue per acquisition

Card issuers pay £50–£150 per successful application. We sit at the highest-intent moment in the acquisition funnel.

🔁

Recurring SaaS revenue

£4.99/month premium tier for power users: advanced analytics, unlimited card tracking, priority nudges.

🏪

Merchant-funded deals

Retailers pay to reach high-spending card users at the point of decision. Incremental revenue with zero user friction.

Three revenue streams, one user motion

Every time a user takes our recommendation, we can monetise, whether via the card issuer, the retailer, or a subscription.

Primary · Year 1

Affiliate Referrals

£50–£150

Per successful card application. We show users the best card for their spending profile. When they apply, we earn. High intent = high conversion.

Premium Subscription

£4.99/mo

Unlimited card tracking, advanced analytics, early access to new features, ad-free experience. Predictable ARR that compounds with user growth.

B2B · Year 2

Merchant Deals

CPC/CPA

Supermarkets, travel brands, and retailers pay for promoted placement in our deal feed at the moment users are nearby and ready to spend.

How the Year 1 revenue actually adds up

No hockey stick. No 10× assumptions. A ramp from 0 → 5,000 MAU gives an average base of ~2,500 users through the year — here's the funnel broken down against that.

AFFILIATE REVENUE
Avg MAU through Y1 (ramp 0 → 5K)2,500

× £75 blended commission£3,750/mo
Y1 total£45,000
Y1 exit-rate (Dec at 5K MAU)£7,500/mo = £90K run rate

UK issuer affiliate commissions currently range £50–£150 per approved application. £75 is the conservative blend.

What's already in motion

Not a plan — here's what we've tested and what we'll double down on with seed capital. Dated numbers; will be refreshed weekly.

Early signals · measured, not estimated
📲 iOS App Store
App is live and installable. TestFlight users converting to App Store downloads in week 1 of launch.
🗣️ Reddit + MSE forums
Early test post on r/UKPersonalFinance → organic signups the same day, zero paid boost. First channel to validate intent.
🎯 Word-of-mouth
Every signup so far has come unprompted — no paid ads, no influencer deals. That's the baseline we'll scale from.
🧪 TikTok / Reels scripts
Ad creative drafted for the "First Class with Avios" narrative. First video planned for launch week — we'll share views/installs in the next deck.
PHASE 1: SEED (NOW-6 MONTHS)

Double down on what's already working

  • ICP (confirmed by signups): UK professionals, 25–45, holding 2+ cards, active on Reddit/MSE and travel hack forums.
  • Channel 1 — validated: r/UKPersonalFinance + MSE forums. Organic signups within hours of posting. Zero cost, high intent.
  • Channel 2 — launching: TikTok/Reels story ads on Avios and cashback maximisation. Creative in hand.
  • Channel 3 — in progress: App Store ASO for UK "credit card rewards" terms. Newly-listed app with no direct competitor means low-hanging search traffic.
  • Milestone: 5,000 MAU exiting Y1, 150 premium subscribers.
PHASE 2: GROWTH (6-18 MONTHS)

Scale: Paid acquisition + affiliate revenue kicks in

  • Paid: Facebook/Instagram lookalike audiences from organic users (CAC target: £8-12)
  • Affiliate: Card issuer partnerships live. Every "Add Amex Gold" recommendation = £50-150 CPA
  • Virality: Community deal sharing drives organic referrals. "Bronze to Gold" tier system creates engagement loops
  • Data moat: 50K+ spending patterns improve recommendation quality, making switching costly
  • Target: 50,000 MAU, £1M ARR
PHASE 3: SCALE (18-36 MONTHS)

Defensible: Data network effects compound

  • B2B: Retailers pay for promoted placement in deal feed (CPC/CPA model)
  • Premium: Advanced analytics, flight mile tracker, family plans (£4.99/mo)
  • International: Template proven in UK, expand to EU markets via Open Banking (PSD2)
  • Partnerships: White-label for neobanks (Monzo, Starling) who want rewards without building
  • Target: 250,000 MAU, £4M ARR, EBITDA positive

Path to profitability by Year 3

Year 1 revenue reflects a realistic ramp from 0 → 5,000 MAU (~2,500 avg through the year). Year 2 and Year 3 are target projections assuming the Y1 funnel holds and the user base compounds — to be refined against live cohort data by the end of Q2 2026. Assumptions: £75 blended affiliate commission, 3% free-to-paid conversion, 5% monthly churn on premium.

Why each assumption holds up

Benchmarks from UK fintech peers and public affiliate commission data.

£75 affiliate / approved
UK issuer public affiliate rates range £50–£150 for a first approved card. £75 is the conservative blend across Amex, Barclaycard, Chase, and challenger-bank affiliates.
10% recommendation tap rate
Push-notification CTRs for fintech apps run 12–20% (Appcues, Braze). 10% reflects only tap-throughs that reach the apply page, not just opens.
20% apply + approved
Our users reach the apply page already qualified (we know their card wallet + spending category). Generic affiliate conversion is 8–12%; our targeted funnel should outperform, so 20% is a reasonable mid-point.
3% free → premium
Comparable UK utility apps (Monzo Premium, Revolut, Plum) convert 5–8%. We model 3% to stay well under peer benchmark — upside exists if we meet them.
65% EBITDA margin (Y3)
Post-scale SaaS + affiliate models typically sit at 60–75% gross. 65% is mid-range, reflecting continued investment in engineering and UK marketing.
Rule of 40: 165+
Growth + margin aggregate. SaaS companies target 40; consumer fintechs in growth mode typically hit 100–200. Our number is plausible, not aspirational.

What UK card holders do today — and why none of it works

The rewards market isn't empty. It's just full of tools that solve the wrong part of the problem. Here's what users actually do right now.

🤷

Guess at the till

Most people carry 2–3 cards and pick whichever is easiest to reach. No idea which actually earns most for a specific shop.

🔁

Check TopCashback / Quidco after

These tools reward online shopping through a portal. They don't help when you're standing in Tesco with a trolley of groceries.

📰

MoneySavingExpert once, never again

Comparison sites optimise card application. They're excellent for that. They don't help with daily decisions post-application.

Rewards4All — the real-time bit nobody solves

Geofenced nudge at the shop, before you pay. No portal. No research. No guesswork. Free.

We're not entering a crowded market. We're solving the point-of-decision moment that cashback portals and comparison sites structurally can't.

Global proof — and why it maps to the UK

The real-time optimiser model is proven in the US ($71B global market by 2031, 14% CAGR). We're bringing a UK-native version with Open Banking built in.

🎯 Our unfair advantage

We combine location intelligence, social gamification, and AI advisory in one app. No competitor has all three. MaxRewards proved the model at $108/yr in the US. We're bringing it to 32M UK card holders for free.

📈 Market validation

MaxRewards has 800K+ members paying $108/yr ($86M+ ARR). SaveSage raised funding in India. The model works globally. The UK market (£224B card spend) has zero smart optimisation tools.

🚀 First-mover window

UK Open Banking is mature but no rewards app has leveraged it. Competitors would need 12+ months to build what we have. Every month of user data compounds our moat.

Why this is hard to copy

At 5K users our moat is thin, but the direction is clear: Open Banking + geofenced retailer data + user wallet patterns get stronger with every new user. Our job is to compound this early.

🏦 Open Banking Data Moat

The more spending data we process, the better our recommendations. Every linked account teaches the engine. Competitors starting today face 12 to 24 months of data catch-up.

🤝 Issuer Relationships

Affiliate partnerships with card issuers take 3 to 6 months to negotiate. We're building these now, creating a structural barrier for fast-followers.

📍 Behavioural Engine

Location + spending pattern + card portfolio creates a three-dimensional user model. The recommendation quality compounds with use, making switching costs high.

⚡ Speed to Market

App is live on the App Store, free to download today. Backend is production-ready on Google Cloud Run. We're 6–9 months ahead of any competitor who would need to build from scratch today.

I switched to my Amex before going into Waitrose and earned more cashback in one shop than I had in the previous three months combined.

Finally someone's built what the banks should have built years ago. I have four cards and genuinely had no idea which one to use where.

Three realistic exit paths

Rewards4All is a strategic acquisition target for banks, card issuers, and fintech comparison platforms, all of whom want the user data and acquisition funnel we're building.

🏦

Strategic Acquisition

Likely acquirers: Amex, Barclays, Chase UK, HSBC. They spend £100M+/yr acquiring new cardholders. Our app delivers pre-qualified, high-intent applicants at a fraction of their current CAC. We become their most efficient acquisition channel.

5–15x
Projected return multiple
📊

Fintech Platform Acquisition

Likely acquirers: MoneySuperMarket Group (LSE: MONY, £1.2B), Experian, ClearScore, Credit Karma. They compete for UK financial consumer data. Our Open Banking-linked, spending-categorised user base is the data asset they can't build organically.

8–20x

Series A & Growth

At 250K+ MAU and £4M revenue run rate, we attract institutional fintech VCs. Series A at £30–50M valuation returns 6–10x on this round before any liquidity event.
