Harmoney continues to deliver on its growth strategy with another outstanding quarter despite COVID lockdowns in Australia and New Zealand…
Harmoney's Group loan book, at just over half a billion dollars, is already cash NPAT breakeven on a proforma basis. The company's 100% consumer-direct model and innovative Libra lending platform enables over two thirds of loan applications to be completely automated, providing significant operational leverage and driving profitability as our income grows noticeably faster than our cost base.
