Our take

Lendable competes with banks, other lenders, and consumer finance companies to provide loans, credit cards and car financing to consumers. Streamlining the loan application process, the company cuts personalised rates and fund transfers from days to minutes.

Lendable believes it can win in this crowded field due to its market-best customer service and strong financials. Part of its success is due to its funding coming from institutional investors. Lendable originates and services its loans on behalf of institutional investors, but doesn't hold them on its own balance sheet.

Growing insolvencies will worry all lending platforms, but Lendable looks well-placed to weather any credit storm given its substantial debt financing. In 2023, it launched two new products in the US, signifying its growth.
