What is Digital Lending?

Digital Lending offers a fast and flexible alternative to the traditional banks.

Digital Lending matches lenders with approved borrowers in a safe environment and creates legal contracts between those parties.

Since Digital Lending companies operate online, they can run with lower overhead and provide services more efficiently than traditional financial institutions. As a result, lenders can earn higher returns, while borrowers can access funds much more quickly than they would through traditional banks.

FAQ

Flender is open to any business who wishes to secure funding where a set of audited accounts are available. Lenders can be resident anywhere in the world. Borrowers who create Flender campaigns need to hold residence in Ireland. Anyone that meets the affordability and credit check requirements is eligible to launch a campaign on Flender. In order to create a campaign, the borrower must meet the following requirements:
  1. If you are a sole trader, you must be a permanent resident of Ireland.
  2. If your business is a partnership, it must have a permanent place of business in Ireland and at least half of its partners must be permanent residents of Ireland.
  3. If your business is a limited company, it must be registered with the Companies Registration Office (CRO). It must have filed accounts with the CRO.
  4. Your business must have been actively trading for at least the past two years.
  5. Your business must meet our minimum credit risk and fraud criteria.
  1. At Flender, we believe that traditional methods of financial borrowing are outdated, imbalanced and impersonal. We felt there was an opportunity to create an alternative method of lending that gave borrowers more control over how they borrow and an opportunity to get more than money from the transaction: loyalty and increased trust.
  2. Our goal was to develop Peer-to-Peer lending network that would allow businesses to raise funds from lenders within their own social circle and customer base, and investors willing to lend to them. Our loans are funded by a community of thousands of investors, comprised of institutions and over 5,000 people, all looking to lend to Irish businesses like yours. Our approach means that borrowers can access fast and affordable finance, and lenders can safely lend to creditworthy businesses and people they know and trust.
  3. Flender’s purpose is two-fold:
    1. Lenders can bid on which campaigns they would like to back, whilst earning more interest than a standard savings account.
    2. Borrowers can raise funds whilst sharing their story with people whom they already have a connection. While doing this we provide a layer of security and structure to the process that ensures both borrowers and lenders are protected.
  1. ID & Address Confirmation
  2. Trading accounts for the past 2 years
  3. Bank Statements (last 6 months)
  4. Tax Clearance Certificate
All borrowers go through affordability and credit checks before their campaign is eligible for participation. A successful campaign requires signed contracts by all parties before proceeding.
  1. Flender loans and activities are subject to the laws in the country of the origin of the relevant campaign.
  2. At Flender, we are committed to keeping your information secure and in protecting your privacy. You can read more about this in the privacy policy section of our Customer agreement.
