Moula takes challenge to banks with $250 million business loans boost
Traditionally, Australian small businesses have turned to banks to help fund their everyday operations and help them grow, but a wave of new challengers have hit the business loans scene in recent years, including online lender Moula.
And a recent move by Moula may be evidence that the challenge to traditional banks is serious, with the Melbourne-based lender announcing that it will provide an extra $250 million to help fund small businesses across the country.
In order to give businesses even more borrowing flexibility, Moula is also bumping up it’s maximum loan amount from $250,000 to $500,000 and extending its loan terms from 24 months to 36 months.
