Prospa is Australia’s leading online lender for small businesses. They bring small business owners one step closer to achieving their goals with no-nonsense funding solutions. With Prospa, small businesses can borrow up to AU $500,000, and up to $150,000 without upfront asset security.
Why do they do this? Australian business owners believe in themselves. Prospa believes in them too.
Founded in 2011, Prospa has originated over $2 billion in loans to more than 33 thousand small business owners. Despite the impact of Covid-19, Prospa has seen phenomenal growth in their loan distribution. In fact, their originations grew by 265.3% from Q4 to 2020 to Q1 2021 and continue to grow rapidly.
Prospa isn’t just another bank that gives out loans. In fact, they’re not a bank at all. They’re the #1 the non-bank financial services company in Australia; a team of passionate individuals with a mission to help small businesses grow and achieve success. In doing so, they have to come up with creative solutions that challenge the status quo, rather than adopting the practices of existing financial institutions.
On the forefront of innovation, Prospa is looking to build products that do not exist yet. And at the rate they’re growing, they’re looking for future Prosparians to help achieve their mission.
Maria Kojevnikova, Talent Acquisition Manager at Prospa, recently told TechLifeSydney that they are actively recruiting for 50+ roles across Australia and New Zealand, with a particular focus on Technology, Product and Design teams.
“We’re on a journey of exponential growth as a business, and we’re preparing for our active customer base to grow significantly as we continue to evolve our offering in the SME market. We’re looking for impact driven people to drive great outcomes for our customers and contribute to our growth”
