6 out of 10 car buyers

don't trust the finance options offered by dealerships.

Trust is dead.

Only 11% of consumers trust car dealers. The FCA DCA scandal exposed hidden commissions worth an estimated £9 to £18 billion.

The experience is broken.

Paperwork at the forecourt. Last-minute pressure. Confusing APRs. In 2026, buyers are still stuck at a dealer's desk.

Behaviour has changed.

Over 70% of car buyers research online first. They want finance sorted upfront, on their terms.

09 — Competitive landscape

Where we sit in the UK used-car finance market

Incumbents lend through dealer networks. Brokers shop quotes but never hold the loan. Carmoola is the only player that originates, underwrites, funds and services a regulated motor loan directly to the consumer — in a single mobile app, in under sixty seconds.

B2B Lenders
Lend through dealer networks. The customer never meets the lender; pricing is opaque and approval is point-of-sale.
