etika

The name etika means ‘ethical’ in several languages and that’s exactly what we want to bring to finance - a responsible and fair approach to lending money. We’re different from other lenders because we put the financial wellbeing of our customers first.

etika was founded in 2012 with a mission to provide fairer finance to more people globally. We’re a privately owned and technology-driven company, here primarily to make a positive difference in the world of finance.

And we actively seek out ethical business partners that treat their suppliers, customers, employees and business partners with the same respect and fairness we would.
