What Alfakredyt does

Alfakredyt Sp. z o.o. is a Polish private limited company headquartered in Warsaw (al. Jana Pawła II 80 lok. H-14F) that originates short-term consumer loans exclusively to individual Polish residents aged 21-75. The company's sole product is a 30-day online loan, capped at 3,000 PLN for first-time borrowers and 6,000 PLN for returning Loyalty Program participants, with principal sizes ranging from 500 to 6,000 PLN. Origination is conducted through a self-service online platform at alfakredyt.pl, with supplementary application channels including SMS (799 599 803) and a telephone hotline (876 181 062) for repeat borrowers, supported by a Polish-language customer service operation (Monday-Friday 8:00-20:00, weekends 9:00-16:00).

The underlying technology stack combines Kontomatik for instant bank-account verification, Express Elixir (Blue Media) for 15-minute disbursement to 11+ major Polish banks, and integrated querying of three credit bureaus (BIK, BIG InfoMonitor, KBIG) plus a loan information exchange platform (credit-check.pl). Borrower onboarding requires a mobile number, email, and bank account verification; decisions are communicated via SMS and the customer profile within minutes. Loan repayment is supported across Santander, PKO BP, mBank, Pekao, Alior Bank, and other major Polish banks via internet banking, branch, or post office. The company maintains RODO-compliant data protection with a designated Data Protection Officer (Inspektor Ochrony Danych) and operates under the Polish Consumer Credit Act and Civil Code.

Revenue is generated exclusively through transaction fees: a commission (prowizja) of approximately 10-12% of loan principal plus variable interest at 15.5% annually, yielding an RRSO of 297.03% on first loans and 299.19% on subsequent loans. No subscription, interchange, or ancillary revenue streams are disclosed. The company is privately held with registered share capital of 1,005,000 PLN and no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or acquisition activity. Distribution is direct-to-consumer and entirely digital, with no physical branches. The customer base is a horizontal, mass-retail segment of Polish consumer borrowers; no enterprise or B2B contracts are present.
