On Friday, marketplace lending platform, Promise Financial, announced it has surpassed $5 million in loan originations and now arranges more than $1 million of financing each month.
Promise Financial revealed it is experiencing rapid growth by addressing a growing need in the U.S. where there are 2,000,000 weddings annually with an average cost of $30,000. The company’s online platform provides access to financing that allows people to pay for weddings over time, with low rates and transparent pricing.
