QuidCycle offers help and hope to UK families suffering debt

QuidCycle is launching a new peer-to-peer UK-based online lending service.  Its premise is simple, ethical and effective. Borrowers get loans, incentives and sound financial advice to ease them out of the debt spiral.

It all adds up.  The man behind QuidCycle is Frank Mukahanana, an investment banking professional turned financial adviser. While working for a big institution to help families manage their money, he became ever-more frustrated by the standard financial products at his disposal, and decided to develop a new and better way himself.
