Facts about Output from their own site and LinkedIn · October 7, 2026
How each company describes itself
Output
Output calls itself an independent design studio and says: “We build brands and digital experiences full of character, difference and purpose.” Its services run from brand positioning and identity to design systems, UX, user interface design, and web and app design and build, plus brand launch and employee engagement.
The studio is in Farringdon, London, and runs Output Ventures for startups. Work shown includes ClearBank, Octopus Money, Dave, and CALM. LinkedIn lists 2–10 employees, based in the United Kingdom.
Humbleteam
Count the fintechs and the difference is clear: Humbleteam has shipped 56 of them, worked with 30+ major banks, and 5 YC-backed fintechs keep our designers in their in-house team.
We move fast with that depth. With ING Amsterdam we reached a tested banking MVP in 5 days, and ING’s small-business banking prototype was designed and tested with users in 23 days. Our 49 people in Prague and Dubai have delivered 200+ projects since 2017.
Three reasons fintech teams pick us over Output
They matter most when the product moves money and answers to a regulator.
Banking prototypes tested within days
For ING Amsterdam, we got a B2B banking MVP from zero to user-tested in 5 days. Our small-business banking prototype for ING went from first screens to user tests in 23 days. On an average project a first clickable prototype lands 2 weeks after the brief, and we reply to every new enquiry within 24 hours.
56 fintechs and 30+ banks
KYC flows, card states, limits, and dispute screens are routine work for us. We have designed them for 56 fintechs and 30+ major banks, from brand-led launches such as Chuck to the AI-first finance platform behind Afternoon. Five YC-backed fintechs keep our designers inside their product teams today.
A bigger senior bench
Humbleteam’s 49 people split across Prague and Dubai, so a London fintech gets overlap on European hours and Gulf clients get theirs. Senior designers on a Humbleteam project bring 9 years of experience on average. Since 2017 we have won 80+ design awards, and clients rate us 4.9 on Clutch across 35 reviews, and the people on your first call are the people who do the work.

When Output is the better call
Two situations where Output’s setup fits better.
A brand launched to your staff
Output lists employee engagement, brand launch and activation, toolkits, and brand guardianship as services. If the rebrand has to land with your own people as much as with customers, that scope covers it.
Design support in exchange for equity
Through Output Ventures, the studio backs startups it believes in. A founder looking for a design partner that may also invest should look at that program.

Questions?
Is Humbleteam a good alternative to Output?
Yes, especially for fintech. Humbleteam has shipped 56 fintechs and worked with 30+ major banks, and 5 YC-backed fintechs keep our designers in their in-house team. Output is an independent London studio with fintech work for ClearBank and Octopus Money on its site, and it focuses on brand strategy, identity, and digital experiences for consumer and B2B brands.
Humbleteam or Output: who delivers faster?
Humbleteam publishes its timelines, and Output’s site does not. The ING Amsterdam MVP we designed was tested with users after 5 days, and Logitech’s app, website, and design system went to production in 4 weeks. Every new enquiry hears back within 24 hours, and a fintech project can begin next week.
Which studio is better for a banking app?
Humbleteam, because we have designed the regulated screens many times: KYC, limits, card states, and disputes, across 56 fintechs and 30+ major banks. Output’s site shows banking infrastructure work for ClearBank and a financial planning brief for Octopus Money. Ask both teams how they tested a failed-payment state with real users.
How big is each team, and who does the work?
Humbleteam has 49 people working from Prague and Dubai, and its senior designers average 9 years of experience. LinkedIn lists Output at 2–10 employees, and the studio works from Farringdon in London. The Humbleteam people on your first call design your banking product, from research through UX/UI and the design system.
How much does each cost, and how soon can we start?
Neither studio publishes prices. Humbleteam offers a fixed-price audit, a scoped implementation, or a monthly retainer for fintech work, with the estimate given on the first call. A reply within 24 hours and a start next week are both on the table. Output’s site lists a contact email and studio address and does not publish engagement models or start times.
