Glasgow-based fintech disruptor Soar has moved its operation to
the centre of Glasgow, as part of its expansion plans.
The award winning company, which provides cutting edge
banking technology to credit unions and other not-for-profit
banking organisations, was founded by tech entrepreneur Andrew
Duncan in 2017. He also founded mobile technology business
SwarmOnline.
Soar has moved from Pacific Quay to take a five year lease
on two floors of an office at 6-8 Gordon Street.
Andrew Duncan said: "This move not only gives us an extra
1,000 sq ft of space as we grow, but actually cuts our costs as
well. These factors, allied to easier access to the city's
professional services community and quicker transport links to
Edinburgh, made it an easy decision to make."
Soar recently won the Rising Star and Social Impact
categories at the Scottish Financial Technology Awards and Andrew
Duncan took the Scale up Entrepreneur of the Year title at the
Great British Entrepreneur Regional Final. He now goes forward to
the national finals in London in November.
Earlier this year Soar was awarded a £450,000 grant from
Scottish Enterprise to help it expand into international markets
and to grow its headcount.
