Mr. Zabrocki noted that SMEs are changing thanks to the conveniences offered by modern technology, with many SMEs seeking fast, easy and small loans. While many turn to banks first, banks have demonstrated a reticence to offer what SMEs want due to the costs associated with serving their needs. As a result, online-only alternative-to-bank lenders (such as iwoca) have begun to establish themselves by specifically offering products and services to reach these customers. As an example of this growth, iwoca estimates its annual growth rate at 2.5 times and believes it can work to further penetrate into the market and attract customers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"rpbt_shortcode\">\n\n<div id='rpbt-related-gallery-1' class='gallery related-gallery related-galleryid-9886 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='&#8220;First in the world\u2019\u2019 mobile bank for SMEs launches in UK'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/first-in-the-world-mobile-bank-for-smes-launches-in-uk\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/maxresdefault-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-6946\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-6946'>\n\t\t\t\t&#8220;First in the world\u2019\u2019 mobile bank for SMEs launches in UK\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='Top 5 Mobile Financial Institutions Operating in Europe'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/top-5-mobile-financial-institutions-operating-in-europe\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/6bef2c57-1348-4e14-b41e-5f73c29d71581-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-15751\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-15751'>\n\t\t\t\tTop 5 Mobile Financial Institutions Operating in Europe\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='Airfox using blockchain technology to replace banks in emerging markets'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/airfox-using-blocking-technology-to-replace-banks-in-emerging-markets\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/51072-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-8862\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-8862'>\n\t\t\t\tAirfox using blockchain technology to replace banks in emerging markets\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent interview, Mariusz Zabrocki, managing director of iwoca Poland, spoke about online lending to small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
