Meet iwoca

We're a team of account managers and adventurers, developers and dog lovers, researchers and rock climbers who are all working to expand possibilities for small businesses.

That's why we built our own lightning-fast lending software. It’s why we were the first lender to use open banking. And it’s why we're constantly developing new products to help small businesses open doors to big opportunities.

"iwoca is the kind of place where you can take on as many opportunities as you want.

In the past two years I've learned how to lead a team, built a CRM system, and upped my pool game."

Olivia Denyer - Product Manager

Our values

Motivated

Going to work shouldn't feel like a slog, so we want everyone in the team to personally care about what they're working on. We stay motivated by celebrating our wins, learning from our mistakes, and always looking for new gaps to step into.

Smart

At iwoca being smart isn't about what you know, it's about how you think. Smart thinking means looking at each problem by asking ‘why’ first, then figuring out ‘how’.

Humble

We know all ideas are flawed, all code has bugs, and everyone makes mistakes: it’s how we learn. For us, being humble means you question yourself first, rather than your team.

Growth mindset

We think there's always a better way to solve a problem. So we never let ourselves get comfortable with being good enough.

We're growing fast

We're not a small start up anymore, but we haven't slowed down. Our mission is to fund one million small businesses.

In the past year we’ve grown our team by 40%, closed a £150 million funding round, and won a £10 million public grant. Next, we’ve promised to make £5 billion in finance available over the next four years and launch three new innovative products.

So we're looking for new team members (we call them iwocans) who can spot opportunities, think creatively and take on challenges - including some we've never tackled before.

All organisations with more than 250 employees are required to report their ‘Gender Pay Gap’. We employed more than 250 employees on 5th April 2020, this is the first year in which we are publishing our data.

On 5th April 2020, we had 261 employees based in London of which 69% were Male and 31% Female. Here are our results:               

Mean (Average)Median (midpoint)
Hourly pay gap13%14%
Bonus pay gap8%4%

This means that women typically earn 86p for every £1 that men earn when comparing median hourly pay and 87p for every £1 when comparing  mean hourly pay.

It is important to note that the Gender Pay Gap does not measure equal pay, which relates to what women and men are paid for the same or similar jobs or work of equal value. Women and men are paid equally at iwoca for performing the same roles.
