Your Role & Impact
As the first line of defence in our customer journey, you play a critical role in ensuring financing applications are accurate, complete, and ready for decisioning.
Your primary goal as a Junior Credit Eligibility Analyst is to review, validate, and quality-assure applications to ensure they meet YouLend’s minimum requirements. You will process high volumes of Merchant Cash Advance (MCA) applications from thousands of German businesses applying for financing through partners such as eBay, Amazon, Just Eat, Shopify, and Stripe.
You work in a structured way with data and documentation and contribute to making sure applications are ready for further processing by the Credit Decisions team, which determines how much customers can borrow. This includes reviewing business customers’ sales patterns, ownership structures, and company activities. At the same time, you help ensure that applications are processed quickly and correctly—without compromising internal processes or good customer service.
Responsibilities:
- Reviewing and validating large volumes of financing applications
- Assessing business sales patterns, trading ownership structures, and company activities
- Ensuring each application meets YouLend’s minimum requirements and internal credit guidelines
- Preparing and packaging complete, high-quality cases for the Credit Decisions team
A key component of this role is the German-language focus. You will work extensively with German bank statements, analysing large volumes of financial data to identify and extract invoice-related transactions. This includes:
- Locating and verifying customer invoice payments
- Identifying merchant activity linked to invoicing
- Accurately capturing and structuring relevant financial data
