London-based invoice capture and payments app, Apron, has been named as a Cloud 100 Rising Star by Forbes.

Founded in 2021 by former Revolut employee, Bogdan Uzbekov, Apron gained momentum among accountants and bookkeepers in the UK, with its all-in-one solution for paying suppliers, contractors and staff from a single platform.

In 2024, Apron launched Capture, its own invoice capture solution, aimed to help business owners upload receipts, bills and other documents on the go. It launched the feature with its ongoing #PitchTheSwitch campaign, in which Apron offers users a free Capture account until their current software agreement ends.

About the Cloud 100 Rising Star list

Each year, Forbes publishes a list of companies it believes to be among the best private cloud companies of the future. The 2023 list included in its top 10: OpenAI, Stripe, Canva, Klaviyo, and Grammarly.

Apron Founder and CEO, Bogdan Uzbekov said: “Our instinct from day one was that accountants, bookkeepers and business owners, were being underserved by payments apps. They were being overcharged by banks for foreign transfers, and the whole disconnected process was fraught with risk.

“Being named as a Rising Star by Forbes reinforces our belief that we’re on the right track, and that we’re providing a service that is as much useful and necessary, as it is innovative.”

Apron publishes its product roadmap on its blog regularly, giving users and potential users an opportunity to make an informed decision about the payments software they choose.
