I got asked the other day to do some desktop research to backup some claims made by Wisr about the growth potential of the Australian market compared to overseas markets. I first found this illuminating article on the USA Personal Loan fintech's now taking an amazing, whopping 38% market share of all personal loans in the US:

Then today, i saw this post on medium wrt someone's experience of the sector in the UK:

all of this makes me think Wisr's is just at the very beginning of its journey here, and it could be a very exciting ride for holders.
