Building a Canadian loan marketplace, with Vlad Sherbatov (Smarter Loans)

This whole show is built on the premise that lending money is a tricky endeavour, but, let's face it, borrowing money can sometimes be easier said than done, too: instalment or revolving, secured or unsecured, long-term or short-term, monthly cost versus APR, affordability versus need, etc.There's a lack of transparency and a lack of knowledge. "And when there is a lack of knowledge, there is a lack of trust, and as long as there is a lack of trust, there's always going to be a hindrance to the advancement of the industry" says Vlad Sherbatov, President & Co-Founder of Smarter.Loans - helping Canadians discover top loan providers for any credit purpose.Head on over to https://smarter.loans/ to see what's there, or https://smarter.loans/videos/ for a wealth of lending content.
