In 2010, Moritz Thiele founded Finanzcheck.de in Hamburg, Germany, with a vision to simplify the process of comparing financial products online. The platform quickly gained traction by offering users a transparent and efficient way to compare loans and other financial services, addressing a significant gap in the market.
Finanzcheck.de's journey was marked by strategic growth and innovation. The company attracted attention from investors, securing funding to expand its operations and enhance its technology. This growth trajectory caught the eye of larger players in the industry.
In July 2018, Finanzcheck.de reached a pivotal moment when it was acquired by Scout24, a leading operator of digital marketplaces in Germany, for 285 million euros. This acquisition was a testament to Finanzcheck.de's strong market position and its potential for further growth under the umbrella of a larger organization.
However, the story didn't end there. In February 2021, Finanzcheck.de was acquired by Smava, another major player in the consumer credit space in Germany. This acquisition aimed to consolidate the market and create a leading platform for consumer loans in the country.
Today, Finanzcheck.de stands as a key player in the financial services industry, continuing to innovate and provide value to its users. Its journey from a startup to being part of major acquisitions highlights the dynamic nature of the fintech landscape and the opportunities that arise from addressing consumer needs effectively.
