On the customer side, the demand for online consumer loans is growing noticeably: In its market study on consumer and automotive financing in 2017, the Association of German Banks has determined that one in four consumer loans is now issued online. The proportion of online installment loans has increased from 21% to 27% in the past two years. However, often only the data input is digital. The conclusion of the contract itself is in many cases delayed by traditional paper based processes. This is where Moneyou and solarisBank come in to offer the complete loan application and conclusion as an entirely digital process.
Also, the search for information before taking out a loan is increasingly shifting to the Internet. One third of consumers researches on banking sites, one fifth on comparison portals and one tenth on other websites.
In order to meet the growing customer demand for sophisticated, digital banking services, Moneyou plans to launch further products on the German market next year as part of its smart banking concept.
