About Lendable
Finance
is one of the last great stale service industries, and customers are
suffering for it. Lendable is building a proper financial institution
from scratch using our technology, agility and attitude!
Our
first product is offering personal loans. Or technically speaking (if
you prefer): we have built the world's fastest consumer lending
platform, powered by real-time, automated credit decisions and
continuous risk pricing. To give you an idea, our relentless drive to
automate and improve processes allows customers to apply for and receive
their loan in well under 10 minutes on average (instead of the industry
norm of days or weeks). Our second product will launch this year and
we’re planning on much more!
We are well-funded,
profitable, and grew fourfold last year. In the five years since we
started we have lent over £700 million to UK consumers. We are a focused
team of c.55 individuals with founders previously at Goldman Sachs,
Rocket Internet and BCG, with 2 featured in Forbes’ 30 under 30 list. We
are backed by the General Partners of Passion Capital who have also
invested in Monzo and GoCardless, among others.
We have a unique,
enthusiastic culture: we give talented and curious individuals the
opportunity to stretch themselves and work in an environment that
encourages growth.
