Job Description
What About us:
Founded in 2014, Spring Financial has spent the last 9 years simplifying the lending process for millions of Canadians facing every type of financial circumstance. In the process, we’ve become the largest fintech loan originator in the country with over 50,000 monthly applicants and over 250,000 loans originated!
Many Canadians have been locked out of the financial system and are stuck without the credit they need, unable to save money and paying extremely high interest rates. At Spring, our mission is to provide all Canadians access to fair-priced financial products. We do this through a variety of products including our signature savings and credit building product – The Foundation and our personal loan offering the Evergreen Loan. We’ve made all of our products available to Canadians from the comfort of their own home and without having to visit a branch!
We are high-energy entrepreneurs who operate with a real sense of urgency. We have an ambitious road-map that will enable us to build on our best-in-class customer acquisition and origination platform and build exciting and innovative new products (next-gen credit cards and other data-based fintech products).
