Fellow Finance CEO Jouni Hintikka: A two-parted year 2019
In the first half of 2019 we performed well and the loan volumes and revenue grew as expected. In the second half of the year the consumer finance market was affected by new legislation that came into effect in September cutting both loan fees and interest rates. This caused a market disruption that was stronger than expected, whereby, for example, customer acquisition prices did not begin to decline and adjust to the changed situation as earnings on loans fell. At the same time, intense competition for new consumer customers lowered the average size of loans intermediated by our platform in an effort to optimize customer acquisition cost to a profitable level. Mainly because of this, the second half of the year was weaker growth for us than the beginning of the year.
The total amount of intermediated loans in 2019 was a record breaking more than 200 million euros. The 59.3% increase in business financing and the 85.5% growth in our international markets in intermediated financing from 2018 strengthened our vision of offering our financing platform extensively to both businesses and consumers in Europe. There is demand for our service and we are able to challenge traditional financial market players with our platform lenders.
During the second half of the year, we opened our first office outside Finland in Gdansk, Poland, and expanded our country organization in response to the growth of our Polish business. The number of institutional investors and investments in our platform grew during the year, and the launch of our partnership with Citadele Bank in November was a good example. In addition, we established a subsidiary in Estonia and continued product and service development as well as preparations for our expansion into new markets. Building a strong business base for future growth is on schedule.
