ClearScore has announced an exclusive partnership with Zuto, the UK’s leading car finance FinTech, to provide car finance brokerage services as it bids to become the number one digital car finance platform in the UK.
The global, data-driven financial services platform has established itself as a market leader in credit data and a primary destination for credit cards and loans among UK consumers. With Zuto now providing extensive car finance options to ClearScore’s users, the business is looking to extend that dominance into the car finance space.
The partnership builds on a relationship stretching back several years. Zuto previously developed ClearScore’s car re-finance journey, helping consumers save money by switching to more affordable car loans — a proposition that has facilitated £250m worth of loans over the past four years.
Under the expanded agreement, Zuto will power ClearScore’s end-to-end car finance digital journey, with its technology platform offering access to dozens of lenders and over 300 products. The integration will deliver near-instant initial finance decisions to ClearScore’s 16 million UK users for used vehicle purchases.
ClearScore Group chief commercial officer Tom Markham said, “We are excited to expand our partnership with Zuto, whose technology platform and expertise in car finance perfectly complement our own data-driven marketplace and our strength in credit cards and loans.
“The non-dealer car finance category is growing fast. Combined with an increasing consumer need for an end-to-end digital process, we are well placed to create a category-defining car finance experience, built on Zuto’s digital-first approach.”
Zuto chief operating officer Aimee Gethin said, “This latest development builds on our longstanding partnership with ClearScore. At Zuto, we combine technology with a customer-first mindset to bring simplicity and integrity to the car finance experience. As the industry evolves, we’re continuing to lead through innovation.
“Data and automation sit at the heart of everything we do, enabling the rapid onboarding and integration of multiple lenders – including new entrants to the car finance market – and giving them the infrastructure they need to scale with confidence. For customers, that means greater choice on ClearScore and a smoother experience when finding the right finance option.”
