SMEs can register and apply for funding in a few minutes through an easy-to-use web application. The financing request is evaluated in seconds by Péntech’s risk analysis algorithm and a personalized offer is made to the company presenting the request. As a result of digitization and efficient processes contracted customers are paid out within 24 hours.
