Lendela, on the other hand, operates a distinctive reverse auction model for personal loans. This is similar to the way Joust works. This unique approach ensures that consumers receive multiple loan offers with a single application. Moreover, this is free of charge and avoids concealed fees, making it easier for clients to secure their personal loan.

Hammerschmidt added: “At Joust, we’ve always been at the forefront of innovation. We’re thrilled to share that we’ve joined forces with the lending experts at Lendela to revolutionise the world of personal loans.
