Our Story

- Profitable
- Having impressive cashflow
- Retaining loyal clients
- Showing clear commercial success
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

The Problem
The UK’s traditional banks were all using the same outdated systems – broken systems.
Why was securing a loan so difficult for successful businesses?
- The banking industry relied heavily on historic financials rather than future potential
The Solution
What if there was a bank focused on entrepreneurial needs? A bank with an innovative borrowing process designed specifically for businesses?
