“Unsecured lending is a natural extension of our service”, says Croad. “It’s no secret that better access to reliable data has assisted Fintech companies like ours to make more informed and faster lending decisions. It also speaks to the need for security over a physical asset is now not always being a necessity.”
“That said, larger loan requests of $50K plus to $200K will continue to have a mandatory requirement for property and or vehicles as security before being offered funding.”

“We are very pleased to now offer investors more choice and borrowers a lower interest rate effective 23 November 2020.”
