Billions of people want to move countries, but when they do they are locked out or overcharged for the financial products most people take for granted. Since 2017 we've set out to change that. We've since insured over 1 million people, and are one of the fastest-growing companies in Europe doing over half a billion of annual revenue. And, we've only just got started - we have so many more products to build & customers to service. We believe to be continually successful we need to attract the best people. So far we have 600+ people across 3 countries, and we are always on the look-out for more brilliant people. People who are ambitious, smart, collaborative, and attracted to getting things done.

Legacy Digital (LeDi) SEO helps serious small businesses stop losing trust, leads, and credibility because of weak websites and poor digital presence. Our current focus is U.S. contractors, starting with roofing, HVAC, and general contracting businesses. Many of these companies do strong work offline but are represented online by websites that are dated, generic, hard to use, thin on proof, or disconnected from how they actually sell. We start with the website because it is the foundation that referrals, search, ads, reviews, and outbound sales often lead back to. Our work combines strategy, conversion-focused copy, responsive WordPress development, trust-building design, and SEO-ready structure to help contractors present their services clearly and make it easier for the right prospects to take the next step. We are building toward a broader contractor growth system that connects website quality, SEO and local visibility, paid acquisition, conversion, reputation, analytics, and lead tracking. Our approach is intentionally focused: solve the highest-value problem first, build a system that can stand behind its promises, and expand only when the next service has a clear offer, delivery process, and standard of accountability. We use AI and automation to improve research, workflow, and efficiency, but strategy, positioning, fact-checking, client communication, and final judgment remain human-led. Our culture values clear thinking, measurable work, honest communication, continuous improvement, and accountability. We would rather make a specific promise we can keep than an impressive one we cannot.
