Curve has opened its first United States office, setting up in Brooklyn.

The UK FinTech will create 185 new jobs in the US by 2024 and invest nearly $17 million in research and development over the next decade.

Since Curve launched in European markets in 2018, more than 900,000 users have signed up for a Curve card - which consolidates multiple cards and accounts into one - and more than £1.2 billion has been spent on the platform.

Leading the US expansion from the Brooklyn office will be Amanda Orson, Curve’s newly appointed vice president and head of North America.

“US consumers aren’t clamouring for a different, or additional, bank - they want their financial products to provide a better user experience,” she commented. “Curve’s all-in-one value proposition, ease of use, and obsession with customer experience are exactly what the US market needs.”

Last year Curve closed a series B funding round in July, valuing the business at $250 million, following its £6 million crowdsourced fundraising via Crowdcube.
