Christoph Rieche on Bloomberg, April 21, 2015http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iwoca
iwoca Ltd. is an online finance company based in London. The company provides working capital finance for small businesses trading in the UK, Poland and Spain. CEO Christoph Rieche and CTO James Dear founded iwoca in October 2011 and the company started trading in March 2012. In October 2012 iwoca announced that former PayPal MD Carl-Olav Scheible had joined the board as a Non-Executive Director.[1]
iwoca provides loans of up to £50,000 and assesses risk based on data taken directly from the eBay, Amazon, PayPal, Sage Pay, business bank account and other platforms.[2] This follows a similar model to that used by Kabbage in the United States. A monthly interest rate of 4% on a loan period of six months is typical.[3] After its first five months of trading iwoca announced that it had issued hundreds of loans.[4]
