The key update this week is Marshmallow’s technical integration with EnquiryLabs, a SaaS CRM and operating system for automotive finance. Through this integration, brokers, dealers, dealer groups and car supermarkets can now submit Marshmallow car finance proposals directly from within the EnquiryLabs platform.
By plugging into EnquiryLabs’ automation- and AI-driven workflows, Marshmallow gains access to a broader, digitally enabled distribution network across the U.K. market. This setup is designed to reduce friction in the finance journey, speed up proposal processing and streamline interactions between brokers, dealers and lenders.
Both Marshmallow’s Car Finance General Manager and EnquiryLabs’ co-founder emphasized the strategic nature of the partnership in a LinkedIn post. They highlighted a shared focus on seamless integration, speed and scalability, positioning the tie-up as a way to better serve customers who are new to the country and often overlooked by traditional lenders.
From a business perspective, embedding Marshmallow into EnquiryLabs’ ecosystem may support higher application volumes without a proportional increase in direct sales costs. It could also enhance broker engagement and provide richer data on a specialist borrower segment, which may improve Marshmallow’s risk selection and underwriting over time.
The integration is already live, with partners able to sign up via an online link, indicating immediate commercial availability. Overall, the week marks a significant step in expanding Marshmallow’s car finance distribution, strengthening its position in the motor finance fintech space and testing the scalability of its new-to-UK underwriting model.
