JobRad Leasing GmbH

What JobRad Leasing GmbH does

JobRad Leasing GmbH is a bank-independent, BaFin-authorized leasing company headquartered in Freiburg, Germany, established in 2019 as part of the JobRad Gruppe. It specializes in Dienstradleasing — the lease of bicycles and pedelecs to employees through their employers — and operates as one of two possible leasing partners within the broader JobRad ecosystem, contracting directly with over 55,000 employer customers across Germany and Austria.

The company runs a fully digitized leasing platform with a proprietary online portal that handles contract management, employee enrollment, and benefit administration end-to-end. Underlying operations are supported by 150+ in-house leasing specialists and refinanced through a diversified network of private banks, public-law banks, and cooperative banks at a three-digit million euro volume. The technology stack is described as a digital workflow platform rather than an AI-driven system; no proprietary AI/ML capabilities are disclosed.

JobRad Leasing operates a B2B2C go-to-market model: employers contract directly with the leasing company and offer the bicycle benefit to employees via salary-sacrifice arrangements. Revenue is generated through recurring monthly leasing installments, with quote-based pricing negotiated per employer. The company complements its core leasing product with ecosystem initiatives such as the JobRad Loop circular-economy platform, a dedicated self-employed portal, a public-sector employer track, and a SC Freiburg sports partnership. Regulatory and sustainability credentials include BaFin authorization, EcoVadis Gold (Top 5%, October 2025 — the first in the Dienstradleasing industry), and DQS ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certifications.

While primarily focused on motor vehicles, their corporate leasing infrastructure and employer relationships overlap with JobRad Leasing's B2B mobility benefit model.
