Following this transaction, Credit Exchange AG (CredEx) will be focusing purely on its core white-labelling business and sell "Valuu" the mortgage brokerage platform to Thurgauer Kantonalbank (TKB)

Upon completion of the transaction, TKB will participate as an additional mortgage lender on CredEx. As such, it will help extend the CredEx platform's offering. At the same time, it will also become a new minority shareholder, thereby strengthening the existing shareholder base consisting of Die Mobiliar, PostFinance, Vaudoise Insurance, Swisscom, Bank Avera and Glarner Kantonalbank.

CredEx experienced substantial growth on its white-labelling platform last year, with newly issued volumes almost doubling. After an excellent first quarter, this trend is likely to be continued this year. Accordingly, after careful consideration and with a view to focussing resources, the management and the board have decided to transfer its successfully transformed "Valuu" business to TKB. The latter will integrate it into "Brokermarket" to strengthen its own broker mortgage platform. "Valuu", which was founded in 2019, will enable TKB to expand its broker business with 120 brokers and 24 lenders more quickly and sustainably. Both existing "Valuu" and "Brokermarket" customers will benefit from this acquisition.

Serkan Mirza, CEO of CredEx, sees the collaboration and focus on the core business as "an immense opportunity to continue CredEx's strong growth in the coming years. With TKB, we are gaining a partner that is highly competent in the mortgage business. As the second active cantonal bank on our white-labelling B2B platform, CredEx will benefit from TKB's vast experience in innovation and mortgages as a product category."

Andrea Canonica, CXO of CredEx, is convinced that "we are taking another significant step towards the long-term positioning of the CredEx platform as a leading provider in the Swiss market for B2B mortgage exchanges. At the same time, the transaction helps us in our constant endeavour to further improve the experience and added value for all participants."
