Who are we?
iwoca
is breaking down the barriers that stop Europe’s 20 million small
businesses accessing finance. Traditional banks are slow with rigid
terms and burdensome criteria. In contrast, we use technology to offer
flexible access to credit with five minute online applications and
near-instant decisions.
Since 2012, we've lent over £500 million
to almost 20,000 businesses across Europe. Our customers include
everything from cafés to car dealers and salons to solicitors. Along the
way we‘ve built a sophisticated technology platform, won numerous
awards and grown to a smart, vibrant, fun team of almost 200 people.
However,
we’re still small – our aim is to finance a million small businesses
within a decade and we need more smart, hands-on people to help us reach
this goal. Get in touch if you think you might be the right person for
our team.
