Building a better world through financial inclusion
Established in the Czech Republic in 1997, we have provided more than 1.2 million loans in the last 25 years. We take an individual approach to every loan, concentrating on fast processing and quick credit decisions, while offering a service to our customers that’s respectful, responsible and straightforward.
Working here
The great way that we work and treat our people has been recognised by the prestigious Top Employer Institute with the award of the Top Employer certificate .
We’re proud of our achievements and delighted to give everyone the chance to make a big difference. We have over 300 employees and 650 Customer Representatives who respond flexibly to the needs of our customers. And business ethics are crucial to us, which is why we always offer loans responsibly and sustainably.
Join us to experience fast-moving, exciting change. You’ll have the chance to drive our continuing success, and to recommend ways we can do things differently, because everyone’s ideas are listened to around here.
Personal development
Our ambition is that all our people have access to high-quality, relevant development opportunities. We have several globally consistent development programmes that cover the entire organisation. Through our learning pathways, we have development programmes in place for Customer Representatives, Customer Service Centre operatives, Operational Management and Senior Leaders.
We have partnered with global experts, like LinkedIn Learning and Harvard Business School to provide genuinely best-in-class development materials & experiences for our people. As well as curricula-based development programmes, we also have our Global Leaders Connect programme to develop up-and-coming talent and our new annual IPF Learning Festival, where the entire organisation joins together for a week of focussed development.
Whichever role you join us in, we offer training to help you settle into your new role when you first join us. After that, your manager will work with you to set personal goals and kickstart your development journey.
In addition, all Customer Representatives benefit from having a detailed training plan. As the face of the company, Customer Representatives play a vital role in finding the right solutions for our customers, which is why we provide technical training around all of our products, so that we can match the right solutions to our customers’ needs. Customer Representatives also receive customer service training as well as learning about how we live our Purpose and values.
Much of this training will take place on-the-job, as you interact directly with customers, collecting instalments, selling our services, conducting marketing activities, and working to meet business goals. To provide help and guidance, a more experienced colleague will be assigned to every new team member and will be available to mentor you.
