Job Description

About us

YouLend is a rapidly growing FinTech that is the preferred embedded financing platform for many of the world’s leading e-commerce platforms, tech companies, and Payment Service Providers. Our software platform enables our partners to extend their value proposition by offering flexible financing products in their own branding, to their merchant base, without capital at risk. 

We are owned by the leading Private Equity company, EQT, and have grown +100% year-on-year since 2020. We are headquartered in London, UK, but are also present in several European countries as well as the United States where we service our partners, including eBay, Amazon, Just Eat, Shopify, and Stripe. 

Over the past year, the importance of the EU market – including Germany – has increased significantly alongside strong growth in financing volumes. By 2026, YouLend expects the total fundings in this region to more than double through new and existing partners. To support these growth ambitions, YouLend has decided to open a new office in Germany.
