n the rapidly evolving landscape of commercial real estate financing, Loanboox is emerging as a key technology partner for European real estate companies. Launched in 2022, its Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution has gained significant traction, with over five billion euros in financing volume tendered via the platform since its inception. This represents around 50% of the total volume processed since the beginning of 2024 alone.
"The real estate industry is fragmented and local, making digitization a pressing need," says Urs Meier, CEO of Loanboox. "Our software addresses this gap by efficiently connecting borrowers and lenders, streamlining processes from tender to portfolio management."
A study conducted by Loanboox in collaboration with Fresenius University of Applied Sciences reveals that 67% of real estate companies identify digitalization deficits in their core processes, particularly in financing. Three out of four users prefer specialized industry software over general office applications, highlighting the need for tailored solutions.
Loanboox's platform specifically addresses this demand by enabling borrowers to manage the financing process digitally with chosen lenders. The company's success in commercial real estate financing is evident: user access growth exceeds 100% annually, and around 90% of financing requests are successfully completed.
With over EUR 100 billion in financing volumes processed across all customer segments since its launch in 2016, Loanboox is poised to become a pan-European financing software leader. Its customers have already made financings in 16 European countries, with Germany, Switzerland, France, and Austria being key markets.
Loanboox's network of over 500 lenders in Europe appreciates the platform's ease of use, multilingualism, and high-quality tendering process. This extensive network is particularly attractive for companies looking to finance real estate projects across borders.
The integrated debt management module is another growth driver, allowing European asset managers to manage a loan volume of over five billion euros via the software. "Our solution offers a 360-degree view for financing experts, from relationship management to comprehensive loan management and scenario planning," explains Dominique Hügli, CPO at Loanboox.
As digitalization advances in the real estate industry, Loanboox intends to capitalize on this momentum by expanding its reach in Europe. Artificial intelligence (AI) will play a key role in this effort, helping finance teams process complex data efficiently and identify suitable financing options more quickly. AI-powered features such as automated information extraction from loan agreements and term sheets, teaser document creation, and targeted portfolio analysis will further enhance the platform's efficiency potential.
Loanboox's commitment to integrating AI will continue in 2025, enabling even more effective and data-driven collaboration between borrowers and lenders.
