About Abound We’re on a mission to make affordable
loans available to more people. Using the power of Open Banking, we
have built state-of-the-art technology that allows us to look
beyond traditional credit scores and offer fairer credit to people
ignored by traditional lenders. We have two parts of our business.
On the consumer side, we have Abound. Abound has proven that our
approach works at scale, with over £650 million lent to-date. While
other lenders only look at your credit score, we use Open Banking
to look at the full picture – what you earn, how you spend, and
what’s left at the end. On the B2B side, we have Render. Render is
our award-winning software-as-a-service platform that allows Abound
to make better, less risky lending decisions. And less risky
decisions mean we can offer customers better rates than they can
usually find elsewhere. We’re taking Render global so that more
companies, from high-street banks to other fintechs, can offer
affordable credit to their customers. Your grad Scheme( Data
