Carmoola

Carmoola is a UK-based, mobile-first car finance platform that lets consumers get a pre-approved budget in minutes through its app, then pay dealers or private sellers directly with a virtual card. It offers Hire Purchase (HP) and Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) financing, soft credit checks that do not affect the applicant's score, flexible repayment terms, and the ability to refinance an existing car loan. Carmoola is authorised and regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and is backed by investors including QED Investors. This profile was surfaced as a QED Investors portfolio company and enriched by the API Evangelist pipeline; Carmoola operates a consumer app rather than a public developer API.

Carmoola is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Fintech, Automotive, Car Finance, and Lending.

Carmoola’s developer surface includes engineering blog, support, signup flow, and 7 more developer resources.
