About Lendable
Lendable is on a mission to make consumer finance amazing:faster, cheaper, and friendlier.We're building one of the world’s leading fintech companies and are off to a strong start:
One of theUK’s newest unicornswith a team of just over 500 people
Among thefastest-growing tech companiesin the UK
Profitable since2017
Backed by top investors includingBalderton Capital and Goldman Sachs
Loved by customers with the best reviews in the market (4.9 across 10,000s of reviews onTrustpilot)
So far, we’ve rebuilt the Big Three consumer finance products from scratch: loans, credit cards, and car finance. We get money into our customers’ hands in minutes instead of days.
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.
