Deniz Güven: Brave New Bank

Born and raised in a small town in central India, Deputy Mayor for Business in London, Rajesh Agrawal, moved to London in 2001 at 24.

eBay announced recently that it would begin offering merchants access to credit in partnership with Square Capital as of Q3 2018. eBay sellers will be able to apply for loans from $500 to $100,000. Square is facilitating the process, which can be done entirely digitally and sees successful applicants receive funds in as little as 24 hours.
