Focus

PRODUCTS & SERVICES

LendUp has developed the LendUp Ladder, a solution that allows customers to lower their rates over time. It enables customers to apply for larger loans at lower rates once they have repaid their loans on time. Once a customer has reached the top half of the Ladder, he/she receive an option of their payments to the credit bureaus. Upon the successful repayment of loans, users then become eligible for credit cards and can apply for the same through the platform. Unlike payday loans, they are no extra charges for customers that need more time to repay a loan.

REVENUE MODEL

The company generates revenue through interest on the loan amount.
