Easier applications

We realised that making people download an app to apply for a loan just complicated things. Now, you can apply directly from our website on your phone or laptop without having to download anything.

Quicker decisions

We've also built a new platform that lets us make more decisions instantly. When it can't, it makes our underwriters' lives easier by giving them all of the information they need to make a quick decision. Better decisions mean we can offer more customers better rates.

Loans made for you

Some lenders only look at your credit score. We look at the full picture – what you earn, how you spend, and what's left at the end. We continue to focus on better understanding our customers and making fair decisions.

Clearer messaging

We want to deliver an experience where everything is clear whether you're applying for your first loan or you've done it before. To do this we've stripped out as much jargon as possible

About us

Consumer lending is broken. Our mission is to fix it.
Fintern was founded to offer low-cost, fair and flexible lending solutions which serves borrowers interests and their long-term financial health.

Over 15 million people in the UK struggle to borrow for unexpected costs.

We are often rejected for loans by high street banks, forced to borrow at ridiculous rates on credit cards, or get ripped off by high-cost lenders. We get trapped in endless debt-cycles. Traditional lenders profits at their customer's expense. They seek to maximise borrowing, and keep people in a debt cycle servicing high interest payments.

1-in-4 people in the UK routinely make only minimum payments on their credit cards, meaning they will take more than 10 years to clear their debts even with no new spending.
