This is what I always needed as an investor, and now I will build not only for our customers but I myself am the first customer. I have been provided with the opportunity of being given a clean slate to build things the way I want, which speaks volumes of the leadership at 1 Finance. We are building very high performance and scalable systems that can provide our customers with a delightful experience using predictive modelling and recommendation systems.”
