Following Potzo's development in public.

Potzo

New provider, and the beta is live 🎉

Hey everyone 👋

You might remember the provider saga - GoCardless quietly pulling their product, us scrambling for a replacement, then a long quiet stretch while we rebuilt on top of a new one.

Here’s the update: we’ve spent the last while testing a new Open Banking provider, and it’s been going really well. Their syncing is super fast! That speed opens up a whole world of things we’ve wanted to build for ages. We genuinely can’t wait to start shipping them 🚀

It’s gone well enough that we’re finally doing the thing we’ve been promising:

The beta is live.

It’s invite-only for now - we’re sending invites out in small batches each week so we can keep things stable and actually reply to everyone who needs a hand. It’s free while we’re in beta.

If you’re already on the waitlist, keep an eye on your inbox. If you’re not, request an invite and we’ll add you to the queue.

Thanks for sticking with us through all the provider chaos. This one feels good 🙏

A big compliance milestone 🚀

Update, August 2026: we’ve since moved to a new Open Banking provider, and Potzo is no longer an appointed agent. This post is kept as a record of where things stood in April. Read the latest update →

We’ve been deep in the weeds with regulatory stuff. Turns out building a proper fintech in the UK involves a lot of compliance work behind the scenes 😅

That work is done, and we’ve got a provider lined up to build on.

Big milestone for us. Beta is under development and we’ll be dropping more frequent updates now! 🚀

Quick update from the Potzo team ✌️

Hey everyone 👋 We’ve been quiet for a bit, but here’s the latest:

We’ve been testing out different AIS providers after GoCardless quietly pulled their product.

Upset

It threw a bit of a spanner in the works, but the good news is: we’re now finalising a new provider that should actually give us more flexibility (and better long-term support for Amex + Monzo).

This means we’re almost ready to roll out a fresh round of alpha testing with the new setup.

Sorry for the radio silence - juggling provider changes and product dev has been intense. We’ll be posting more frequent updates again, starting now.

Alpha update: 20 users and counting!

We’ve got 20 real users actively using Potzo in the Alpha - and it’s been amazing to watch it in action.

One of them even said:

“Another month where Potzo’s got it bang on the nose 👍🏼 I am very happy! No stress at the end of the month 👍🏼”

This is exactly what we built it for.

Thanks to everyone testing and giving feedback - you’re shaping what Potzo becomes. ❤️
