YounitedCredit expands B2B youth lending in Europe
It is reported that the company is currently serving 6 European countries, specifically, youth business solutions services in two aspects:
Service Credit: This service enables a financial institution such as a bank, insurance company or mutual party to utilize a youth credit platform (technology, business life cycle management team, credit, scoring expertise, banking license) to initiate or enhance existing financing activities. The solution is customizable. The use of the platform can be end-to-end or modular, depending on the specific needs of each company.
