Description
The Company:
The Financial Services industry is broken. FairLoan was founded in December 2011 to fix it. We want to put our technology to work to fix a major problem: the limited availability of credit to over 70 million Americans.
FairLoan is building technologies that will allow us to bring the cost of borrowing down for everyone. After tackling the cost of borrowing, FairLoan has its sights on making it easier for all working Americans to make payments while allowing them to better budget their money.

* We'll need you to have an agile mindset so that our product works for many different types of users: customers, partnerships, government regulations, auditors.
* You'll be helping us bring transparency and openness to an industry which works hard to obscure and confuse their customers.
