Freedom Finance adds Experian’s Marketplace lenders to panel
Freedom Finance, an aggregator that compares products from a variety of lenders, has integrated its platform with Experian’s Marketplace lender panel.
The partnership means Freedom Finance customers will have access to finance from lenders including The AA, Admiral, Bank of Ireland, Cahoot, The Post Office, RateSetter and Santander, complementing its existing connections to lenders and paving the way for further expansion for loans and credit cards.
Freedom Finance already had more than 50 lenders on its panel and the partnership means the platform now allows customers to choose from the widest variety of unsecured loan providers on the market.

I’m incredibly proud of this achievement, especially at this time of significant need for many of our customers.”
