About Robert Pasco
Kiwi in London with a passion for financial inclusion in the personal lending space ✅?
I co-founded Plend in 2020 after an eight-year career in tax and accounting to build a better way to borrow, in which people are no longer held back by their (lack of) credit histories ?

What do I love outside of low-cost credit? Sailing ⛵️, family ????, and supporting local microbreweries?
