Salary benchmarks
Our take
The current car buying experience lacks clarity around pricing and cost, meaning that buyers are often unable to make informed decisions regarding financing until very late into the process. Carmoola offers a solution to this by providing speedy financing options at the start of the buying process, placing control back into customers' hands.
The company is able to offer this radically different strategy through new, innovative ways of approaching risk assessments that are geared towards transparency. Further, while other digital lenders and brokers require some phone calls and paperwork, Carmoola differentiates itself by operating entirely online for a more streamlined customer experience.
Funding has allowed the company to scale rapidly, and future plans include a continuation of this growth through new hires and development invested into its platform.
