Prior to founding iwoca in 2011, Christoph was a vice president at Goldman Sachs in fixed income, currencies & commodities. Christoph graduated in management from HEC Lausanne and the London School of Economics.
In the first quarter of 2018, iwoca approved 3,500 small businesses for credit facilities, far more than any other challenger bank, and nearly matching HSBC or Barclays business overdraft approvals. Now, under the open banking partnership with Lloyds, they will speed up the lender’s already swift application process for Lloyds customers, reducing the time spent submitting bank information to less than 60 seconds.
One of the TableCrowd hosting team will be on hand to make sure you are welcomed through the door and introduced to the most relevant people to you.
The Ambassador for our FinTech & Finance Community is Warren Neil, who works at Previse, the machine learning powered platform transforming global B2B commerce to cash-on-invoice.
