At Oakam we’re on a mission to make financials services work better for billions of people around the world. And we’re always looking for talented people to help us achieve this mission. Our customers are the ‘under-banked’. They are excluded from the mainstream system of financial services used by many to easily access credit, due to low incomes or poor or no credit history in the UK. And since 2007, via our network of high-street stores and our virtual store, we’ve provided them with affordable credit based on a deep understanding of their personal circumstances -- not just their credit score. We’re now building on this success by expanding our services digitally across the UK and overseas. For example, through our mobile app, we are currently trialling the latest engagement and incentivisation techniques to positively influence customer behaviour. We are also using advanced data science techniques to make the best underwriting decisions and reward our customers with lower interest rates. Above all, our focus is always on building trusted relationships. We’ve done this by serving our customers respectfully and often in their own language. Our 290 staff speak more than 27 languages and even more dialects. Our relentless focus on customer service is the reason why the vast majority of our customers come via word-of-mouth referral. If you’d like to join us on this journey, we’d love to hear from you: jobs@oakam.com Oakam was established by CEO, Frederic Nze, with the support of Cabot Square Capital, a leading financial services private equity firm.
