About Lendable
Lendable is on a mission to build the world's best technology to help people get credit and save money. We're building one of the world’s leading fintech companies and are off to a strong start:
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.
Join us if you want to
Lendable is the UK market leader in real rate risk-based pricing, offering consumers transparency and product assurance at the point of application. Data Science and Analytics sits at the heart of this USP, developing the credit risk models and strategies to underwrite loan and credit card products.
Our team is primarily focused on the pricing domain but we also work on other areas including product and credit. We implement a range of machine learning techniques and analytical tools to continually improve our product offering.
