Big news in fintech! 🚀 SME Finance, in collaboration with Okredo, is revolutionizing the way SMEs access loans by launching a pre-scoring financing solution for businesses! 💪 Why this partnership matters: 🔵 This collaboration allows businesses to see potential loan amounts without submitting applications. 🔵 Once on the Okredo platform, businesses can immediately view the potential loan amount based on the company's data. 🔵 Businesses no longer need to approach multiple lenders, share extensive data, or negotiate terms. Everything is assessed in advance. 🔵 A completely digital process - no physical meetings, no additional paperwork. Businesses can agree on loan terms and even sign the loan agreement remotely. I've shared more insights about this solution with Verslo žinios. You can find the article in Lithuanian below 👇 Thanks to Gerda Jurkoniene, PhD for the partnership, and kudos to everyone on the Okredo and SME Finance teams who made this all possible. 🚀🎉 Such initiatives not only simplify the lending process but also empower SMEs! #SMEFinance #fintechpartnership #financingsolutions #innovationecosystem

A great result for A2B Australia Limited with the company’s market capitalisation growing from c.$110m to $260m in a little over three years.   In 2020 Sandon Capital Activist Fund invested in A2B, a taxi payment and mobility systems company facing leadership and strategic challenges; soon after we commenced a campaign that saw a change of board andmanagement.   Led by Executive Chair, Mark Bayliss, the new team have improved taxi operations, sold non-core property assets and abandoned the former “fintech” strategy espoused by previous management, resulting in c.$150m of additional value for shareholders.   In early 2024, A2B shareholders will be asked to vote on a scheme of arrangement that proposes selling the taxi and payments business to Singapore’s ComfortDelGro. Before then, A2B shareholders will have received fully franked dividends (special and ordinary) that represent the net proceeds of the property sales.  This is a great result and we congratulate Mark and the team for this turnaround of A2B.   You can read more about our campaign at A2B by following this link: https://lnkd.in/gyr2G67T #goodgovernance #shareholdervalue
