What SOSCredit does

SOSCredit is an online non-bank consumer lending platform operating in the Czech Republic under the legal entity Orange finance s.r.o. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Prague, the company provides short-term unsecured loans to Czech-resident individuals aged 18 and over with regular income and a bank account. Its core product is the 'Rychlá půjčka' (Quick Loan), offering 1,000-30,000 CZK over 7-28 day maturities, with a stated 15-minute approval and fund-disbursement turnaround and an RPSN range of 1,187% to 5,632%. All operations are conducted digitally through the soscredit.cz website; there are no physical branches.

The platform is built on a proprietary automated loan origination and decisioning stack developed in-house, including a four-step online application, SMS-based electronic contract signing, an integrated client portal ('Klientská sekce'), and an automated credit-scoring system maintained by the company's IT department. An affiliated business-loan product ('Půjčka na podnikání') for self-employed borrowers (OSVČ) is offered via the related OpenFactor.cz platform. The company holds a Czech National Bank (ČNB) license for non-bank consumer credit provision and is led by managing director Jekaterina Stukalina.

Revenue is generated primarily through per-loan origination fees, which range from 164 CZK to 4,551 CZK depending on loan size and maturity, alongside a 100% first-loan fee waiver as an acquisition incentive and a loyalty-discount program (30-65% off fees) for returning customers. Marketing is digital-first, relying on SEO, content marketing, customer testimonials, and discount codes rather than paid media. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding, operates with 11-50 employees, and is restricted to a single-country Czech market.
