The product, which allows customers to receive and use virtual credit cards within the Mastercard payment system, has a 12 per cent per annum interest rate for lenders and comes with a term of 12 months.

Twino said the term is expected to be even shorter as shown by the repayment trends of the existing client base.

“We see this as the next logical step to reach out to new client segments who usually are of even higher-quality borrowers, used to manage their spending and repayments in a flexible way,” Twino said in a blog on its website.

“The new product offers Polish customers a completely new dimension of flexible and transparent financing in the form of a virtual card with an individual credit limit available. It will allow NetCredit to better address the needs of current customers and will also allow to meet the expectations of new users.

“The company will be able to gain some resistance to regulatory changes, as well as achieve even better business results, thanks to the possibility of fitting into strong trends in the Polish market like a growing e-commerce market.”
