About SMB

Save My Bacon, a Christchurch-born fintech with 13 years of experience in responsible online lending, is rebranding to SMB and scaling into mainstream personal loans, powered by a market-leading fully automated credit decision engine. Our next chapter pairs the agility, customer care, and data-driven decision-making that built our reputation with a broader suite of longer-term credit products designed for everyday New Zealanders. Join us to build green-field risk infrastructure on the shoulders of a trusted brand, balancing compliance and customer experience while steering SMB’s next phase of high-growth innovation.
