YouLendAbout us
YouLend is one of the fastest-growing FinTech companies globally. Our platform enables leading e-commerce platforms, technology companies, and payment service providers to offer flexible financing solutions to their merchants – directly embedded into their products and without taking on capital risk. We partner with companies such as eBay, Amazon, Just Eat, Shopify, and Stripe.
We are owned by the leading Private Equity company, EQT, and have grown +100% year-on-year since 2020. Our headquarters are based in London, and we have just opened our newest office in Berlin to accelerate our growth in Germany.

As a result, we are looking for exceptionally talented and self-motivated individuals who want to start their career within the company.
