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. He arrived at Heathrow with £200 in his pocket and without knowing a soul. But he still felt at home in London, citing that feeling as one of the best things about the city. Rajesh set up his own business in international payments before the term fintech even existed and now he’s working to help other fintech entrepreneurs succeed in London. Listen to our CEO, David M.

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. The partnership is interesting for two main reasons — it signals a deepening commitment from eBay to providing financial products and the joint offering marks another powerful entrant to the SMB lending space.
