Clar Global AB has signed an agreement to acquire Lendo Group from Vend Marketplaces ASA. Lendo Group is a leading digital loan marketplace in the Nordic region, known for its consumer loan comparison platforms Lendo (in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark), the personal finance service Compricer (Sweden), and Mybanker (Denmark).
This acquisition strengthens Clar’s position as an international fintech leader in credit brokerage and expands its footprint into the Nordic markets with well-established, reputable brands.
Clar operates a platform connecting millions of consumers with hundreds of banks and financial institutions across eleven markets on four continents. By welcoming Lendo Group into the Clar family, the company broadens its geographic reach and customer base. “This acquisition is a significant step for Clar. We are combining Clar’s global operations with Lendo Group’s strong local brands in the Nordics, giving us unique reach and creating added value for both users and partners,” says Per Granstrand, CEO of Clar.
Lendo Group will continue to operate under its current brands as part of Clar. Clar aims to build on its international expertise to further strengthen Lendo Group’s services, while maintaining Lendo’s strong local market knowledge and positions.. The deal aligns with Clar’s strategy to grow through targeted strategic acquisitions and to offer a comprehensive solution for loan comparison globally.
The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, subject to customary regulatory approvals. After the acquisition, Clar will cover 11 global brands and further strengthen its position as a strong global tech company in credit brokerage.
