Who is Plenti? 

Plenti is a fintech lender, providing faster, fairer loans through smart technology and outstanding customer service. We are a dynamic and innovative business that is growing strongly. By continuing to deliver better customer value and experience we are taking market share from incumbent players in the personal lending, renewable energy, and automotive finance markets.

We are a fast moving and ambitious organisation that seeks to bring in smart and capable people who can take ownership of their role to help the business continue to grow and thrive. With over 200 people based in Australia we are a small enough organisation that everyone can make a difference, but we have very big ambitions that our passionate team are working to deliver.

Plenti is still a founder led business that began in 2014 and is now listed on the ASX with annual revenue of over $200 million and a loan book over $2 billion.
