I'd assume their development team is in india.
It's very frequent to outsource IT abroad to save on cost

We’re always adapting, evolving and innovating. And the fast pace brings variety and challenge, along with continued growth and opportunity." Such a relief to have a platform that moves fast. Particularly when it comes to back-sliding borrowers!

Imagine a job which demands bilingual fluency and you still only want to pay £18k max a year for it...

Is the job description racist ?
Can I advertise a job that you have to be fluency in Doric & Geordie ?
 P.S. I am fishing. Just in cause someone takes the bait.

Looks like they are trying to expand business to India. They've recently appointed a "seasoned businessman... with over 16 very successful years in international business and trading across India, Hong Kong and the UK." I recall not long ago FO(WLU) were trying to expand their lending to India too.

Low level of pay yes, for the calibre of work it seems is required.
Expect more spelling mistakes, lack of attention to detail and general slapdashery?
Carry on!

Many outsourced IT operations have superb customer facing English skills, I don't really envisage that being much of a problem,
From a design point of view their website design is about as basic as can be.
Not the cheapest part of the world to live in around there..... hardly seems worth it for that kind of salary, I'd imagine that working at McDonalds or Tescos would pay pretty much the same.
I feel sorry for the poor sod that ends up working there. Career development it is not.
