Lenk
Next-gen lending platform for LATAM banks
We build a loan origination platform tailored for financial institutions in Latin America. Our product manages the entire loan process from lead acquisition to disbursement, automating workflows and ensuring compliance. It helps banks digitize complex lending operations to improve speed and customer experience.
We live in Santiago, Chile and the company is based here with a remote team; post-YC, we plan to keep this base while expanding remote work.
We chose Santiago because it's our home and the center of our customer base. The LATAM financial market here is underserved by modern lending tech and presents a strong opportunity.
