Our loans are not available to every business, but only to those with a proven track record, at least one year of business activity, cash flow, and growth potential. Did you know that small and medium-sized businesses generate 54% of the GDP? This means that your investment, no matter the amount, joining thousands of other investors — helps advance the economy and business growth. We offer market-breaking loans to business owners who want and are able to grow — from ₪100,000 up to ₪1,000,000, for periods of 4–8 years. And of course, there are also longer loans for property owners — up to 40 years, secured by real estate or a cash deposit. So what do we have? BTB investors earn all the interest on the loans, and Israeli businesses and property owners receive the credit they need to achieve their goals. Simple, fair, smart.

Who are we?

BTB is a pioneer of P2P lending in Israel. The platform began operating in 2014 after several years of intensive planning and development, once we were confident in the revolutionary product we built (you know, no half measures…). Since its founding, BTB has promoted legislation enabling the public in Israel to benefit from social lending — both as investors and as business owners seeking loans. By leveraging advanced financial technology, BTB has sparked a revolution, creating real competition in Israel’s credit market — allowing anyone to invest in Israeli businesses and earn interest. Now that we’ve introduced the platform, it’s time to meet the people behind it: the founders are Shlomi Turgeman (CEO) and Alon Katz (Deputy CEO), who also serve as directors. The company’s board includes Danny Krost (Chairman), Iris Shalegi, and Eli Kedush — all with extensive experience in banking, social entrepreneurship, and marketing, counted among Israel’s top experts. We work hard to make things easy for you. We love what we do — and we love success. We are technological, human, fast, and professional. We are the banking of the future. We are BTB.
