Summary
Despite the strong demand, vehicle prices in 2023 are expected to decrease compared to 2022, making it an opportune time for consumers to make purchases, Amitay Kalmar, co-founder and CEO of Lendbuzz, told Calcalist. However, the consumer credit market faces a challenge in the form of rising late payments. Lendbuzzs unique underwriting approach, based on data analysis, enables us to maintain an acceptable level of late payments, facilitating our ability to secure debt from institutional entities.Kalmer explained, "Our specialization lies in serving individuals with either no credit history or a limited credit history, primarily targeting those under 30 years old. Additionally, we cater to customers who havent yet achieved a high-level borrower status, constituting about 30% of our clientele." Lendbuzz currently processes an annual borrowing volume of $1.3 billion.Regarding the companys future, Kalmer emphasized their focus on efficiency, allowing them to expand their credit offerings without proportionate increases in expenses.
