“Can a digital-first car subscription marketplace scale across the DACH region by embedding automated financial verification to replace manual underwriting friction?”
FAAREN was built as a marketplace enabling automotive dealers and fleet operators to offer vehicles on a subscription basis. A key operational challenge was verifying subscriber affordability without relying on manual payslip and bank-statement reviews. By integrating finAPI's KreditCheck product — an open banking-powered income and financial commitment verification tool — FAAREN digitised its underwriting-adjacent screening process, reducing friction for self-employed and non-salaried customers and lowering residual risk on contracts.
FAAREN connects to bank accounts through finAPI.
FAAREN was founded by Daniel Garnitz and Maximilian Renoth and is headquartered in Würzburg, Germany.
