Lendable is on a mission to build the world's best technology to help people get credit and save money. We're building one of the world’s leading fintech companies and are off to a strong start:

We’re growing fast, and there’s a lot more to do: we’re going after the two biggest Western markets (UK and US) where trillions worth of financial products are held by big banks with dated systems and painful processes.

What We Do
Lendable is a lending platform that makes borrowing money effortless. Using technology, we have trimmed the fat from the traditional loan application process. The result allows us to make an instant decision, offer personalised rates, and transfer funds within minutes. We look beyond applicants' credit score, offering loans to people with less-than-perfect credit histories, and charging them less than banks. This way, we provide fair rates to a wider range of borrowers. Once customers have accepted our quote, we deposit their loan within minutes. Because our technology is brand new. Unlike banks, who use huge systems built at a time when the world was different. The internet has made commerce faster, cheaper and safer. Time for finance to step up
