The company's business model is centered on providing specialized, on-demand video education platforms to a global client base that includes corporate entities and educational institutions such as Santander, The London Stock Exchange, Airbus, GSK, and Oxford Said Business School. Serving over 100,000 learners, the firm generates revenue by offering tailored solutions for enterprises and teams, enabling them to manage and assign learning to meet specific professional development needs. The platform is designed to help organizations and their workforces develop critical skills in complex, rapidly changing areas.
xUnlocked has expanded its product suite beyond its initial finance focus. The flagship platform, Finance Unlocked, offers over 160 courses covering all key areas of banking and financial services. In November 2021, the company launched Sustainability Unlocked in response to a growing demand for business training in sustainability and ESG, a move that aligns with its B Corp certification. This platform offers more than 80 interactive courses on topics ranging from climate change and biodiversity to ESG regulation. The company has also introduced Data Unlocked, which focuses on AI and data literacy skills, and offers xUnlocked Academies for bespoke skills challenges. A key feature of their service is the collaboration with over 200 globally recognized experts, including Nobel Laureates and industry leaders, to co-create and deliver content. The courses are enhanced with animations and interactive features, contributing to a high average video completion rate of 93%.
