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='The promise of FinTech hackathons'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/the-promise-of-fintech-hackathons\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/graphic-designers-meeting_1170-2002-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-12677\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-12677'>\n\t\t\t\tThe promise of FinTech hackathons\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='Bank BGZ BNP Paribas leading the way with fintech and startups'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/bank-bgz-bnp-paribas-leading-the-way-with-fintech-and-startups\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/BNP-Paribas-International-Hackathon-querona-2-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-8581\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-8581'>\n\t\t\t\tBank BGZ BNP Paribas leading the way with fintech and startups\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='RegTech startups to be included in Accenture\u2019s latest Innovation Lab'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/regtech-startups-to-be-included-in-accentures-latest-innovation-lab\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/women-with-diagrams-and-laptop_23-2147651571-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-9269\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-9269'>\n\t\t\t\tRegTech startups to be included in Accenture\u2019s latest Innovation Lab\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).
