Kompare, the leading domestic platform for comparing and contracting insurance, telecom services and loans, continues a series of successful acquisitions and further expansion in Croatia and the region - it has acquired Optimum Grupa - a licensed credit and insurance intermediary with many years of experience in mediating in contracting products and services for companies and citizens, osiguranje.hr writes.

"We are already the fastest growing credit intermediary, and this acquisition will further accelerate our growth and expand the portfolio of users of our services. With the merger of Optimum Grupa, credit intermediation at kompare.hr now has more than 30 people and lays a solid foundation for further growth in this business segment", the CEO of Zagreb-based Kompare.hr Bojan Radlovic said. Credit intermediation is still not sufficiently recognized in Croatia, and Kompare.hr’s goal is to show users that there is a simpler process for contracting a loan, without additional fees for its service, he added.

With this acquisition, the Optimum Grupa brand ceases to exist and is fully integrated with the kompare.hr platform, but the business model of cooperation with investors in the construction industry, as well as special conditions for customers, remain in focus.

"The merger of kompare.hr and Optimum Grupa was a logical step precisely because of the combination of experience and technology that creates new quality on the market. While Optimum Grupa brings two decades of experience since the very beginning of credit brokerage in Croatia, kompare.hr is a company that brings its own recognition, a wide range of services and partners, as well as technological innovations", commented Marko Perić, founder and owner of Optimum Grupa.
