Tell Us About Carmoola

 

Carmoola is a UK-based fintech on a mission to make buying a car as easy as ordering a takeaway.

Through Carmoola’s app, customers can set their budget, check their eligibility, browse approved used cars, receive a personalised finance offer, and complete their purchase from their smartphone.

Since launching its app in 2022, Carmoola has funded over £298 million worth of cars and helped thousands of customers get on the road.

What Makes Carmoola Unique?

 

Carmoola combines the speed and convenience people expect from modern fintech with the trust and responsibility required in consumer lending.

Rather than asking customers to find a car first and then discover whether they can get finance for it, Carmoola reverses the process. Customers know exactly what they can spend, are able to secure finance in minutes, and then shop with confidence from thousands of trusted and approved dealerships across the UK.

Behind the scenes, Carmoola uses in-house technology, machine learning and AI-driven decisioning to streamline what has traditionally been a manual process. This helps deliver faster decisions, a smoother customer experience and more efficient lending operations with industry-leading default rates.

 

Is There A Market For Carmoola?

 

Cars remain essential for millions of people and around one in four* car sales in the UK are made using motor finance, but the lending process hasn’t always kept pace with modern consumer expectations.

People increasingly expect financial services to be digital, transparent and available on demand. At the same time, affordability and budgeting have become more important than ever. Carmoola addresses both challenges by helping customers understand their budget before they start shopping and by providing a quicker, more straightforward way to access car finance.

The growth of digital-first financial services suggests there’s significant demand for simpler alternatives to traditional lending.
