October lets 11 public companies borrow money on its platform

French crowd-lending platform October (formerly known as Lendix), wants to educate more people about new ways to borrow money. That’s why the company is launching a project called Grandir Ensemble (grow together).
11 big companies are borrowing €100,000 each on Octoberat a 2.5 percent interest rate. October users will be able to lend as little as €20 to one of these companies.
If you look at the list of companies, all those names will sound familiar to French readers and beyond.
