“Can a data-driven online lender scale profitably across both consumer and small business credit segments while maintaining credit discipline through proprietary analytics?”
Founded in 2003 as a consumer online lender offering short-term loans and lines of credit primarily to underserved US consumers, Enova progressively diversified its portfolio across consumer lending brands (CashNetUSA, NetCredit) and international markets (Simplic in Brazil). The 2020 acquisition of OnDeck for $90 million at a steep discount from its $1.5B IPO valuation marked a pivotal shift toward small business lending, which now accounts for 62% of Enova's ~$4B portfolio. Enova also operates Pangea, a cross-border money transfer platform, reflecting an embedded FX/remittance capability alongside its core credit business.
Enova is founded in 2003 and headquartered in 175 West Jackson Boulevard, Suite 600, Chicago, Illinois, USA.
