Lenen op Maat

What Lenen op Maat does

Lenen op Maat is a Dutch bank- and brand-independent vehicle financing intermediary founded in 2001 and headquartered in Wormerveer, Netherlands. The company operates a marketplace-style platform that aggregates approximately 30,000 vehicles from hundreds of Dutch car dealers through integrations with multiple dealer management systems (Autodata, Autosoft, Autotelex, Cargo, Hexon, Mobilox, OBS, ECU, CCV, WE), allowing consumers and businesses to search inventory by brand, fuel, transmission, price, and monthly payment. It serves three primary segments: private individuals financing passenger vehicles, SMEs and freelancers (ZZP-ers) financing commercial vehicles, and car dealerships seeking in-house financing options for their customers.

The core technology is a loan calculation engine paired with DMS-driven inventory aggregation, complemented by a white-label lease calculator widget that dealers can embed on their own websites. Product offerings include personal loans for new and used cars, financial leasing (huurkoop), debt consolidation (oversluiten), solar panel financing, and renovation loans, alongside auto insurance referrals and a related leasing sub-brand Lease One (leaseone.nl). Revenue is generated through transaction commissions from a panel of lenders (Santander, Defam, Qander, BNP Paribas, Hiltermann, Dutch Finance, Nationale-Nederlanden) on originated loans and from referral fees on insurance policies sold through partners (Allianz, Centraal Beheer, OHRA, Aegon, ABN AMRO, and others). The go-to-market is a hybrid direct-to-consumer motion (website and SEO-driven traffic) coupled with a channel-partner motion (hundreds of dealer integrations that feed inventory and refer financing leads).
