We’re on a mission to deliver the most automated custody and trading solution in the market. (We’re probably already there but aren’t stopping any time soon).

From instant cash deposits via automated reconciliations, to the seamless release of aggregated fund orders at cut-off times, our platform scales through technology – not people-powered admin.

The result? Fewer errors and faster processes: custody built to grow with your business.

We’re on a mission to help more people invest – and invest well. It’s a bold ambition, backed by firepower of Octopus, the £multi-billion investment group.

But we’re not just backed by Octopus – we’re part of it. As a purpose-aligned business, Octopus supports our growth with patient capital and a long-term commitment to transforming our industry for the better.

Together, we’re building a company that’s a delight to work with. And as proud B Corps we share the belief that profit and purpose should always go hand in hand.

I have hundreds of millions of pounds on the Octopus balance sheet that we can deploy into businesses that we’re helping to scale and Seccl is right at the very front of that queue

Simon Rogerson Founder & Group CEO

We typically operate under a ‘model B’ arrangement – where firms have ‘arranging’ permissions and appoint us to carry out regulated services on their behalf.

It’s a model many firms prefer, since arranging these activities carries considerably less risk than executing them. But we’re flexible. If you’d rather use a Model A outsourcing model, we can deliver that too.
