VP, Strategic Partnerships & Business Development
About Caribou At Caribou, we care about giving people financial freedom so they can focus on what's most important to them.
Today, less than two percent of Americans refinance their auto loans despite drastic increases in the cost of new and used cars.
We see huge potential to help folks reduce their monthly auto expenses, as well as increase the predictability of those expenses over time.
We do this by building technology to pair customers with community banks and credit unions, and ushering them through the process quickly.
On average, our drivers save $130/month on their car loans while protecting their investment long term.
Caribou is led by leaders from the technology, automotive, and finance industries.
