Moneybox appoints non-executive director

London-based wealth management platform Moneybox has appointed Sir James Leigh-Pemberton as a non-executive director in its tenth year of trading.

Sir James became a shareholder in 2017 and brings experience in corporate governance and financial services. 

He previously served as chief executive and executive chairman of UK Financial Investments and deputy chairman of UK Government Investments. 

His career also includes senior roles at Credit Suisse and as chairman of RIT Capital Partners.

Sir James said: “The strength of Moneybox’s management team and the scale of the opportunity ahead were central to my decision to join.

“With ten years of sustainable, steady growth behind it, Moneybox is well positioned to support the large proportion of UK savers who hold most of their investable assets in cash, helping them invest with greater confidence and build long-term financial security. 

“With its trusted brand, integrated platform and expanding range of products, the business is uniquely placed to realise the opportunity in front of it. 

“I am excited to support the team as the company enters this next phase of growth.”

His appointment comes after three consecutive years of profitability for Moneybox. 

In the year to 31 December 2025, revenue exceeded £100 million and assets under administration rose to more than £19 billion.

Ben Stanway, co-founder at Moneybox, added: “Sir James’ reputation as one of the UK’s most respected figures in financial governance precedes him. 

“He joins at a time when we are welcoming significant numbers of new customers, deepening engagement with existing users, and delivering strong revenue and AUA growth alongside consistent profitability. 

“Ten years into our journey, we are on the cusp of a once-in-a-generation opportunity to revolutionise personal finance in the UK. 

“By harnessing expert-led, AI-powered solutions, we can fundamentally change how people are supported to save, invest, and plan for the future. 

“Sir James’ strategic leadership will be a significant asset as we continue to build a category-defining wealth service in the UK.”
