Solution & Product
Our platform provides a simple and efficient user journey that leverages our proprietary technology stack, from how customers choose their favourite products to their assessment, fulfilment and post-sales support. Our product can also be delivered as an alternative way of payment for B2B transactions that sit on a retailer's electronic or physical checkout.
Innovation & Scalability
FInloup leverages Open Banking to assess whether a customer is eligible for its leasing plans. Therefore, distribution can be done entirely online. Also, our technology is licensed to strategic partners for their own leasing programme use cases as well as credit extension activities.
