History

edit

Founded in October 2008 by Rohan Gamble[2], Mozo provides tools for comparing financial products. Prior to Mozo, Gamble was the founding CEO of Virgin Money Australia, where he launched financial products like the low rate, no annual fee Virgin Credit Card and Virgin Super. Gamble was also recognised as a BOSS Young Executive in 2004[3]

In 2021, Mozo was acquired by Future PLC, a global media company with an audience of 12 million in Australia across brands such as Country Life, PC Gamer, and TechRadar.

Mozo frequently features in Australian media, providing analysis on retail banking and personal finances[4][5][6][7][8][9]
