The challenge

e-Careers had worked with another consumer finance provider previously. However, it experienced some issues with the lender’s performance. These were major barriers to growth, not only due to impact on revenue, but also due to potential damage in relationships with students.

 

e-Careers core ethos revolves around improving access to quality training and upskilling. But its previous finance solution was presenting some challenges.

Conversion rates

The business wanted a provider who could encourage potential students, rather than discouraging them.

Approval rates

e-Careers’ student base is a diverse range of financial profiles. They needed a provider who understood this.

Return on investment

The business needed a provider who could deliver profits that outstripped its rates.

The solution

DivideBuy proposed an interest free credit solution that allowed e-Careers to attract a wider variety of customers. Flexible and affordable payment options meant e-Careers could offer more extensive, higher-priced courses to students.

 

With options to spread the repayments over 12 months, plus a soft check option when applying for credit, e-Career’s goal of improving access to finance was met.
