Breaking More Records

After taking a month off from record-breaking originations, Bondora was at it again, surpassing €16 million in monthly originations for the first time in the company’s history. This increase was led by Finnish originations, which saw a huge increase in total originations, even as the average origination amount decreased. On average, total loan values decreased while loan durations increased, displaying a diversification of originations on the Bondora platform.
