Revenue model

1. Short-term payday loans (chwilówki): One-time, single-repayment loans with 30-61 day terms. New customers receive their first loan free (0% interest and commission). Returning customers pay variable interest (NBP reference + margin) and a commission fee. Revenue is earned as a one-time transaction fee at disbursement.
2. Installment loans (pożyczki na raty): Multi-month loans repaid in equal monthly installments. Revenue includes interest income (variable rate) and commission fees. Commission may be either credit-funded (included in total loan amount) or paid upfront. For qualifying borrowers, commission can be reduced under promotions.
3. Wonga Limit — Revolving Credit and Payment Account: Revolving credit facility with a linked payment card. Revenue includes: (1) monthly account fee (promotional waivers apply), (2) 5% commission on the used limit amount when repaid in a single payment (RRSO 256.81%), (3) installment repayment option with an 8.6% schedule creation fee plus interest (RRSO 125.82%), and (4) ATM withdrawal fees.
4. Promotional campaigns and referral incentives: Periodic promotional campaigns (cashback offers, fee waivers, commission discounts) are used to acquire and retain customers. While the incentives themselves represent cost, they drive volume and future revenue from repeat borrowers.
