Credit Underwriter

We’re Capital on Tap 👋
💳 Capital on Tap started because small businesses were underserved. Big banks were slow, their products weren't fit for purpose, and small business owners often couldn't access what they needed. We set out to fix that.

Today we're a financial platform - not just a credit card company. We offer a best-in-class business credit card, SME-focused spend management platform, a savings product that hit £1 billion in funds within its first year, and a growing suite of tools and financial products that make running a small business easier. 

1,000+ employees, £20bn in annual card spend, 200,000+ customers, 17,000+ Trustpilot reviews averaging 4.7 stars, and we're profitable. We’ve done a pretty good job so far, but we’re just getting started! 

🏡🏢This is a Hybrid role, in our London (Moorgate) Office 3 days per week.

Credit Underwriting

Underwriters are at the heart of Capital on Tap as they allow us to grow our portfolio whilst keeping bad debt within appetite. We expect you to question the strategy, spot patterns the data team has not yet picked up, and bring decisions back into the room when something does not look right. Our automated decision engine handles the majority of cases but your job is the cases where judgement and context matter.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Review lending applications and financial data for decisions.
• Performing credit reviews on our back book customers.
• Helping to facilitate change in underwriting strategy and structure.
• Interacting with internal teams for credit decisions.
• Facilitating Risk initiatives and pilots by reviewing credit data.
• Conducting periodic reviews of individual bad debts to provide portfolio insight.

We’re Looking For

• 1+ years’ underwriting experience with a minimum of 6 months’ mandate (secured or unsecured).
• Commercial lending experience is a must – you have a broad understanding of how businesses operate.
• Strong analytical instinct – you read financials, spot inconsistencies, and triangulate across data sources without being told.
• Demonstrate best practises in Responsible Lending.
• You’ve already worked in a fintech or for a high-growth business.
• An ability to work autonomously.
• Genuine interest in why we do things, not just what the policy says.

Diversity & Inclusion 🌈
We welcome, consider and encourage applications from anyone who shares our commitment to inclusivity. Join us in creating a space where authenticity thrives, and everyone can do their best work.
