The mission of Creamfinance is to make money available by providing consumer loans online in a convenient and speedy manner. The company aims to make borrowing money online as simple as clicking one click, hence the one-click loan offering, that the company is focusing on at this moment. Using most advanced and representative scoring techniques, the service minimizes consumer effort and maximizes risk management. The technology features advanced algorithms and machine-learning capabilities allowing to quickly evaluate and score the risk, leveraging the concept of Smart Data.
