Why we drop these
Most are hype, cliché, or jargon that any competitor could say. "Solutions" and "cutting-edge" are dated. "Revolutionize" and "game-changer" are PR filler. We earn trust with specifics, not adjectives.
How we describe ourselves
Froda is a tech company first: avoid framing it as a lending company or a finance company where possible. When the financial context is unavoidable:
- · SME-facing: "Froda" or "Froda's business loans."
- · Regulatory or press: "credit market company licensed by Finansinspektionen."
- · Partner-facing: "Froda" or "Froda Embedded" as the platform.
- · Never "Froda Bank." It is incorrect.
