Xero & Waddle
Waddle was acquired by the global cloud accounting software company in 2020.

Xero saw a beautiful connection between our purpose "making it easy for small businesses to access lending" and their purpose "make life better for people in small business, their advisors, and communities around the world".

When these purposes align, we're not only helping small businesses, we'll be building a stronger economy that can change the world.

Who are we, and what do we do...
We are on a big journey at Waddle, pushing the boundaries of lending for small businesses.

We started our journey seven years ago, building an industry leading product to enable simple, quick and digital access to lending for small businesses.

The product enables the customer to manage their daily cash flow requirements to suit the way they manage their business and works hand and hand with cloud accounting software.

Our product was so successful that we now license our platform to tier 1 banks/lenders around the world to deliver simple digital lending to their customers.

We're not a start-up anymore, but spend some time in our office and you wouldn't know it.

Wear your shorts whenever you want, add your favourite tunes to the office playlist, join in with yoga on a Thursday, even bring in your dog if you like We've also fully embraced flexible working and have seen productivity only increase.
