Octopus Money and divorce specialist amicable have tied the knot.

Octopus Money, part of Octopus Group, has acquired a majority stake in the London company which aims to transform the way couples end relationships.

“This is a hugely positive change as it enables amicable to continue to grow and expand our suite of services to help more couples separate in a kinder and better way,” said co-founder Kate Daly, also host of The Divorce Podcast.

“Since founding amicable in 2015, we have grown into a trusted brand that helps couples avoid the emotional and financial turmoil of divorce through a kinder, more collaborative and tech-enabled process than the traditional lawyer-led model.

“Existing and new customers will benefit from the same high-quality, amicable service we currently offer. Excitingly we will be expanding our range of products and services, including a new release for our co-parenting app and access to a wide range of financial services from the Octopus Money family.
