Access launches new online guarantor loan provider George Banco
Integrated marketing technology consultancy Access has worked as part of a consortia to help launch new online start-up loan provider George Banco into the UK marketplace.
The start-up guarantor loan provider tasked Manchester-based agency Access six months ago with creating a seamless end to end end-to-end online loan application system that is able to process applications with very little human intervention involved.
Built in Symfony2, an open-source PHP web development framework, the team at Access worked in conjunction with the founder to develop a unique and intuitive customer journey. This collaboration turned it into a live site that integrates at multiple points with a loan management software technology platform that required strict adherence in data integrity. Other third parties include WorldPay integration for processing payments and API callbacks; an SMS service for mobile phone validation; look up services, including postcode, addresses and bank sort codes.
The site uses twig templates along with bootstrap to keep the theme lean and has been optimised to work with desktops, laptops, tables and phones. To ensure complete user satisfaction, the customer journey has been modeled to ensure an easy 7 step loan application process.
Commenting on the project, managing director at Access, Simon Landi, said: “This is by far the most challenging and complex project we’ve ever worked on. It’s been a steep learning curve, but we are delighted with the end result, as is the client.
“However, we’ve not had chance to catch our breath, plans are already underway to develop the site into multiple markets, with multiple products already in the pipeline.”
George Banco aims to provide personal unsecured loans from £1,000 to £5,000 to UK residents who are excluded from the mainstream lenders. These loans are repayable in fixed monthly installments over terms of 12 to 60 months.
