SA’S ONLINE BUSINESS LENDER POLLEN MAKES STRIDES IN A TOUGH FINTECH SPACE
The idea behind Pollen is to give entrepreneurs and SME business owners fast business loans via a revolutionary online application and vetting platform.
A new Stellenbosch-based specialist online lending firm Pollen — targeting small to medium enterprises (SMEs) — appears to be tapping a very lucrative niche.
In an environment where small business enterprises struggle to get loans from banks, Louis du Plessis and his company POLLEN are pioneering the use of financial technology in South Africa to boost their chances of success.
Anglo African, which made headlines in 2002 when it made an unsuccessful play for liquor group KWV, is now making huge strides in backing a lending venture that services small to medium enterprises (SMEs).
