By GlobalDataIn 2017, Carsnip signed an exclusive partnership deal with Oodle Finance. Carsnip added an optional ‘finance now’ button to their search results, which would link prospective car buyers to Oodle Finance. Dealers will be paid commission on all cars financed by Oodle.
At the time, Jonathan Clayton, Oodle’s chief executive, said the deal could shorten the process of financing used cars. “Both Oodle and Carsnip believe technology can bring car buyers and car dealers closer together for a more seamless and effective experience.
“This exciting partnership was the logical next step in our collective desire to optimise this process and make life easier for car dealers and borrowers.”
