Australian car loan platform CarClarity is expanding its leadership team by appointed experienced industry executive Richard Dicello as dealerships general manager.
The CarClarity car loan platform was founded in 2020 by its current chief executive Zaheer Jappie.
The idea for CarClarity came to Jappie through a combination of his own experiences during the car financing process and observations during his 13 years of work in the financial space, noticing a clear disconnect between customer experience and transparency in car financing.
Prior to joining the team at CarClarity, Dicello was the dealer sales director for Gumtree and Autotrader. He also spent more than nine years working for the BMW Group Finance operation.
In these previous roles, Dicello says he was instrumental in growing and transforming the online car buying and financing options for millions of Australians.
His new appointment comes after CarClarity saw revenue increase by 800% in 2021 and the expansion of the CarClarity team to more than 33 employees.
“I couldn’t be more excited to join the CarClarity team. I have followed their journey closely and admired their purpose driven focus and outstanding growth. This is great opportunity to combine my passion for automotive and digital innovation, supporting dealers to provide a seamless online finance and car buying experience,” Dicello says.
Jappie says 2022 is gearing up to be a fantastic year with heavy expansion of the CarClarity team and partner channels.
“Richard’s appointment will help us provide CarClarity services across thousands of dealerships in Australia. This gives dealerships additional options to secure finance for their customers and more competitive rates,” Jappie says.
‘’We couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome Richard with his expansive automotive experience and knowledge to the CarClarity team,’’
Jappie says the CarClarity platform was the first of its kind to launch in Australia in March 2020, connecting car buyers with more than 30 different finance lenders.
He says from loan comparison, application, approval and car buying services, CarClarity makes the full car financing and ownership process easier, clearer and more transparent, saving our customers time and money.
Through an online process, CarClarity offers more than 30 different car finance lenders and more than a thousand loan products. It then matches each customer with lenders based on price and loan terms for that individual’s needs. Once their best borrowing option is chosen, borrowers are guided through an intuitive online application process to secure their financing according to Jappie.
