Our story

Fair & transparent finance

Founded in 2012, etika is present in Australia and the UK. We are privately owned with no shareholders to answer to. The word etika means 'ethical' s several languages and that's what we embody in our people, services and ethos.

We're a purpose-driven lender with a unified vision, but with the ability to serve distinct segments and varied demographics.

Our mission is to bring financial inclusion to more people and businesses with fair and transparent finance.
