“Can a fully-digital, asset-backed car-title lender use open-banking data and a frictionless remote process to scale consumer credit across Spain, Mexico, and beyond while remaining consistently profitable?”
Founded in 2011 in Málaga as a fully digital car-title (vehicle-equity) lender, Ibancar has built a niche in asset-backed consumer credit that allows borrowers to retain use of their vehicle. After years of operating profitably in Spain, the company expanded to Mexico in 2024 and is now pursuing P2P marketplace debt funding to accelerate international scale. Its embedded-finance angle centres on open-banking data (via Powens) to automate credit decisions and income verification, keeping the process 100% remote.
Ibancar connects to bank accounts through Powens.
