The old way is backwards.
For a long time, borrowing in Singapore has worked against the borrower. You pick a bank, fill out an application, wait, and take whatever rate you are offered. Want to know if there is something better? Start again somewhere else, and risk another mark on your credit file each time.
It is a lot of effort, and it usually means paying more than you should on interest, simply because comparing properly is too costly and too slow to do well.
How the reverse auction works.
Lendela flips the direction. Rather than you chasing lenders, the lenders come to you. This is the reverse auction model, and it is the core of how the platform works.
You submit one application. Your most competitive offers from multiple banks come back in minutes, while your personal information stays anonymised.
What makes it different
Lendela is the only fintech platform in Singapore and the region using a true reverse auction model. Other platforms that claim to do loan matching are manual online brokers.

When lenders know they are competing for you, the dynamic changes. By cutting out misleading advertised rates, you see only personalised offers you actually qualify for. And because the matching happens fast, disbursements have been facilitated in as little as 15 minutes.
You compare genuine offers side by side, without the cost of multiple applications and without the guesswork of advertised rates that may never apply to you.

Worth being clear about
Lendela is not a lender. It does not issue loans or set the terms. It is a fintech platform that matches you with personalised offers from over 70 banks and licensed providers. The lending decision, the rate, and the final offer all come from the institutions themselves. Lendela's job is simply to bring them to you so you can choose well.
