Hi. I’m interested to know more about this conversion to an “instalment loan”. Is this a novel idea in the credit space? Could you flesh out a theoretical example with numbers?
I was just thinking the same.
Also, my Swedish colleague calls her other half, who’s name is Jack, ‘yak’, they struggle with the J’s
Thanks! Missed that.
Even less reason to be annoyed in October
In that case I take it back - I didn’t know they were launching in November
And I’ll join the queue of apologists…
Let’s start again…
I’ve joined the queue … riiiiiight at the back
My link should anyone want to use it:
I take it there isn’t an app to download already?
I’d imagine there’s a TF version, but obviously you’d need to be invited.
Barclaycard have a similar offering; you can convert a purchase to installment based payments:
From the app?
No to be fair you can manage one from the app (there’s a section for it but I can’t tell you how good it is as I haven’t used it) but has to be set up from the website though.
I hate nothing more than getting redirected to fill in a stupid form - from an app that already holds masses of data about me anyway. It’s just pointless. Barclaycard should easily be able to do this in the app.
In the meantime I’m not going to turn down free money
Meanwhile, here’s my chance to get rich. Anyone coming with…?
As much as I’d like a modern card I’m not sure I would invest in them; unless I missed something I still don’t know what the business model will be; while at the same time if they do go the legacy route I wouldn’t want to invest in a business model focused on screwing less financially-savvy customers either.
Suits me, Andre, I agree.
Seems rather pushy. I thought at first it was my invite to have the card.
This is becoming a well-trodden path. Soft launch with a waiting list, seedrs before the product is even out, then full launch with lots of promises of major features “very soon”, think Google Pay on Curve…, then very slow development thereafter. I really hope they just put out a great product soon and defy my expectations…
Amen to that
Just had a quick look at the Seedrs page.
They’ve raised £2.65 million since 11 am today - £2.5m of this from two investors!
