a new financial
company
When Andreas Linde founded the company back in 2014, he “went down a rabbit hole” – as he puts it – with the intention of amassing all the knowledge he could with regard to consumer loans, consolidated loans, financing, refinancing, Annual Percentage Rate of Charge (APR), interest rates and other financial topics across sectors.
“The traditional banks that had dominated the financial industry for centuries were suddenly being strongly challenged by a number of new operators, who shared an understanding of how to utilise the digital technologies to shake up the market for loans with completely new and much more transparent solutions,” explains Andreas, mentioning companies such as Klarna, LendingTree, MoneySuperMarket and Lunar as examples of stars of the new financial reality.
“And should you be in any doubt as to whether this is serious business, just take a look at the market caps. At the moment, a company such as Klarna Bank, which was founded in 2005, has a market cap three times that of Danske Bank, which, incidentally, has a 150-year history to its name,” he adds.
Together with the rest of the management team at Karman Connect, Andreas has the stated aim of contributing to improving transparency by making it easier for consumers all over Europe to find the best possible loans.
