Lenme
Lenme is a peer-to-peer lending platform that connects borrowers seeking quick personal loans or cash advances with financial institutions, lending businesses, and individual investors interested in the smaller loan market.

Borrowers can request loans ranging from $50 to $5,000 through a simple three-click process, specifying the desired amount and repayment period. Lenders then compete to offer the most favorable interest rates, regardless of the borrower's credit score.
