Technology development is a core focus and we have made investment of over £3m in the LendingCrowd platform, website and mobile apps, from launch in 2014. We own all core intellectual property. Our technology stack is a blend of proprietary development and integration of leading-edge third-party services. This makes LendingCrowd a highly scalable technology-led proposition.
