Our take
Lendable competes with banks, other marketplace lenders, and consumer finance companies to provide loans to consumers, small businesses, and property developers. Last year the UK marketplace lenders loaned £7.3bn in total.
Lendable believes it can win in this crowded field due to its market-best customer service and its strong financials. Unlike Zopa, RateSetter, or Lending Works, their funding comes from institutional investors.
It originates and services the loans on behalf of institutional investors, but does not hold them on its own balance sheet.
Growing insolvencies will worry all marketplace lending platforms, but Lendable looks well placed to weather any credit storm given their substantial debt financing.

Having started at Lendable, I am not only receiving extensive training for my role in particular, however, have also had a chance to be introduced to other teams within the company. Within my role, there seem to be extensive opportunities for further training as well, which also correlates to possible future career opportunities.

Not only has my team been welcoming since the first day, however I have also had the chance to meet people from around the company. This has made the transition particularly enjoyable and easy, and made me feel like a part of the team since day one.

Data is at the heart of Lendable's decision making across departments and the company products. It is really inspiring to see such an importance put on data and how it is utilised to make the best decisions both for the employees and the consumers.

Challenging work

The leadership team are very transparent about how they see us achieving our goals and also anything that may be concerning on the horizon. We've recently had open forums regarding the macro-economic situation and how that would affect the business, with members of the C-suite answering open questions from everyone in the company.
