FELLOW FINANCE PLC PRESS RELEASE 1.6.2020 AT 1:00 PM

Fellow Finance has opened its business finance service in Czech Republic to small and medium-sized enterprises and small business owners. From now on, Czech companies can apply for funding for their investment and working capital needs from the Fellow Finance crowdfunding platform. Fellow Finance has already been serving Czech investor clients. In the future, investor clients are provided the opportunity to invest in Czech business loans alongside the Finnish, Swedish, Polish, German and Danish loan markets.

"Despite the corona virus outbreak, we have continued to develop our service in order to lay the foundation of our broad international operations according to our strategy. In Czech Republic, loan-based crowdfunding includes prominent demand in SMEs to reinforce traditional bank funding. During these exceptional times, access to bank funding has tightened creating a solid opportunity to open our service to carefully selected companies", says Jouni Hintikka, CEO of Fellow Finance.

Fellow Finance is the only crowdfunding and peer-to-peer lending platform where an investor can invest through the same platform both in business and consumer loans of six countries and with multiple currencies. The availability of different markets enables investors to acquire diversified loan portfolio, which does not correlate significantly with traditional investment instruments. Fellow Finance also publishes up-to-date statistical information on the development of business and consumer loans during the corona virus: https://www.fellowfinance.com/for-investor/statistics.
