About us - How We Got Here | Divido

About us

We are on a mission to make consumer finance, quick, transparent and fair.

We’re on a mission

Forget credit cards and complicated bank loans to buy expensive things – through our retail partners we let people buy anything in interest free instalments, in seconds, completely paperless. Divido offer SME’s an instant point of sale finance solution that works in store, online and over the phone.

Divido is a young, fast growing, technology company in the process of changing the old school financial services sector, forever. Backed by Europe’s largest early stage VC, a group of successful technology entrepreneurs and high profile City financiers, we are currently able to facilitate £25m of credit underwriting, financing individual transactions of up to £25k on the spot.

As a broker Divido work with multiple lenders ensuring the merchants and consumers get the highest possible approval levels, lowest possible fees and the broadest range of finance options.

Last year InnoPitch (European Commission & European Parliament) identified us as a ‘European Innovator of the Year’.

The Team

Our Business Development team is proactively reaching out to new customers as well as nurturing the existing relationships to help them get the most out of offering instant finance.
