- Our ability to handle complaints effectively for our customers, and therefore to the benefit of us as a business, has never been more important than now; as we expand our existing products in the UK and US financial markets

- You will have strong letter writing skills, being able to create professional final response letters which break down complex issues into comprehensible information for consumers to understand
- You will also have a sound moral compass, speaking up where necessary to ensure that good customer outcomes are always at the heart of what we do, striving to resolve complaints without the need for the customer to refer to the Financial Ombudsman service, and ensuring you are applying any learnings from both internal and FOS complaints to future complaint cases

Salary benchmarks
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.
