iwoca Deutschland

The company

Imagine a world where every small business has the power to thrive. That's the world we're building at iwoca. Small businesses aren't just statistics – they're the heartbeat of our communities, the character of our high streets, and the engine of our economy. Since 2012, we've revolutionised how these businesses access finance, turning what was once a lengthy, frustrating process into something remarkable: funding that's fast, flexible, and actually works for modern businesses.

Our impact speaks for itself: we've provided billions in funding to over 150,000 businesses across Europe, making us one of the continent's leading fintech innovators. But we're just getting started. Our mission? To empower one million businesses with the financial tools they deserve.

We combine cutting-edge technology and data science with genuine human understanding to make finance feel less like a barrier and more like a superpower. Whether it's managing cash flow or seizing unexpected opportunities, we ensure businesses get the funds they need – often within minutes.

The Team

Our German Compliance team is skilled and motivated. It acts as a centre of competence for all compliance matters. The team advises and supports operational and administrative functions to ensure regulatory compliance using the three-lines-of-defence model. It works closely with the UK and global Compliance teams (Regulatory, Financial Crime, Data & GDPR), and other business areas, and reports to the General Manager Germany.
