Leeds, UK / Frankfurt, Germany / Bozeman, USA – July 6, 2017— Zoot, a global provider of advanced instant credit decisioning, risk management, loan origination and case management solutions announce today a record breaking year in 2016, the appointment of new key staff and a move to larger offices in Leeds, UK.
Erik Schmidt, Zoot’s European CEO commented, “Our European business had a record year in 2016 with double-digit growth for the fourth consecutive year. This growth is a testament to our world-class technology and the superior service and support our team provides to our clients. We look forward to further helping our clients gain a competitive advantage in 2017.”
Zoot has also expanded its European team, amongst the new hires Zoot has appointed an expert from the risk department of a top-five UK bank. “As we add to our portfolio of European banks, the addition of more retail banking expertise will ensure we closely understand our clients’ needs and implement solutions that really matter to them – by helping to digitise a customer journey, finding ways to identify and support vulnerable customers, or improving affordability checks via real-time access to online banking transaction information,” Adam Jackson, Zoot’s Managing Director commented.
Additionally, an expert from the auto finance industry joins Zoot. Jackson added, “We further expanded our European auto finance and asset finance market footprint in 2016 and we will continue to focus on these industries in 2017. Expanded industry expertise coupled with cutting-edge technology platforms ensures Zoot clients will always have an edge over their competition.”
These appointments coincide with Zoot’s commitment to much larger premises in Leeds. Jackson commented, “As the largest financial centre outside of London, Leeds has proven to be an ideal location for Zoot’s UK business and we are proud to commit to further expansion here. The talent pool in Leeds is exceptional and more than doubling our office space will accommodate the continued growth we expect in 2017 and beyond.”
