CrossLend moves Frankfurt office to TechQuartier

13.01.2022

The Berlin-based FinTech CrossLend has moved its Frankfurt office to TechQuartier. The company has already been based in the financial hub since 2019 and is now moving closer to the rapidly growing FinTech scene.

“The capital market demands innovative solutions that enable cross-asset class and cross-border investments,” says Marco Hinz, COO at CrossLend. Therefore, the FinTech develops digital solutions that efficiently connect the European capital market with the real economy. “As a technology-driven company, we see the TechQuartier as the optimal ecosystem to further develop our digital solutions, as well as accelerate existing innovation initiatives,” Hinz explains the move to the TechQuartier. In addition to renowned banks, consulting firms and IT companies, numerous start-ups from various industries are also part of the TechQuartier community. “In particular, the diverse network in the TechQuartier offers great potential for cooperation and an intensive exchange of knowledge,” says Hinz. 

Currently, the Frankfurt office has two employees. Stefan Weisser, Director of Capital Markets & Origination, and Jochen Weiss, Director Regulatory and Accounting Solutions, are responsible for expanding business relationships with originators and institutional investors. The focus is on banks, insurance companies and pension funds. An expansion of the team to four employees is planned for this year.
