Contributions also came from Varengold Bank and other high-net-worth individuals.<\/p>\n<p>Fintern\u2019s goal is to make it easier for people to access affordable credit.<\/p>\n<p>It claims that despite masses of data being available to lenders, most still base their decisions on a credit scoring system from the 1950s. As a result, more than 15 million people in the UK have unnecessarily high borrowing costs and unsuitable credit products.<\/p>\n<p>It launched its debut consumer lending product in March 2021, and since then over 50,000 loan applications have been processed. The company leverages open banking to understand an applicant\u2019s financial situation.<\/p>\n<p>Fintern COO and co-founder Michelle He said, \u201cI know first-hand what it means to be denied access to vital financial support. When I first moved to the UK, I was unable to get a loan despite my full-time employment. It was incredibly frustrating and exposed many of the issues within the current lending system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter working within this system with Gerald, we decided we were in a unique position to change things for the better. As we emerge from the pandemic, Fintern is now more relevant than ever for those who seek financial stability and support.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve achieved a lot, but there is more to be done, and I am grateful to be part of a team who work tirelessly to make our product even better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Following the close of the round, the company has raised a total of \u00a340m in funding, to date.<\/p>\n<p>Osborne Clarke advised Fintern on the fundraise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fintern, which is making loans more affordable, has raised \u00a38m in a capital injection to support its international expansion.
