Lendbuzz

Provides auto loans for international students

About Lendbuzz

Lendbuzz provides auto loans specifically designed for international students and professionals in the United States who may struggle to secure financing through traditional lenders. The company uses advanced data analytics and machine learning to evaluate the creditworthiness of borrowers, focusing on a wider range of financial and personal data rather than just credit scores. This approach allows Lendbuzz to cater to a niche market that is often overlooked by conventional financial institutions. Borrowers can apply for loans online, verify their information easily, and sign documents digitally, making the process user-friendly. Lendbuzz earns revenue by charging interest on loans and may also receive fees from car dealerships for facilitating the loan process. The goal of Lendbuzz is to make auto financing more accessible to those who typically face challenges in obtaining loans.
