In addition, Curve Credit will augment customer credit scores using their transaction history across various bank accounts. The aim is to give customers greater transparency and flexibility in the borrowing decisions they make.
Paul Harrald, Head of Curve Credit, said: “We are excited about launching Curve Credit with Thought Machine’s core banking technology, which is unrivalled in the market. Thought Machine is the only technology that allows us to deliver the flexibility and manageability we desired for our customers.
“Curve Credit’s ethos is about responsible lending and responsible borrowing. Alongside Curve OS, this three-way dynamic will be able to give each customer the clearest possible terms via a simple and beautiful product and experience.”
The announcement comes after Curve released its initial plans to tap into the BNPL market in July.
