Confused.com owner closes on Mojo Mortgages acquisition
RVU, owner of Uswitch, Confused.com and Money.co.uk, has completed the previously announced agreement to buy broker firm Mojo Mortgages.
The acquisition was made public in July and marked the comparison site owner’s entrance into the mortgage market. At the time, it said it wanted the ability to process the whole mortgage journey for its customers.
Tariq Syed, CEO of RVU, said: “This is a win for the millions of mortgage seekers who are coming to us for help. Our combined scale alongside the expertise Mojo brings will allow us to have a hugely positive impact on this market, and those dreaming of owning their own home.
“To date, RVU has been instrumental in revolutionising the process of buying car insurance and switching energy. Now, moving our attention to mortgages – a market left largely undisrupted, we will get to work on improving their mortgage experience from start to finish.”
When customers visit RVU’s comparison sites to get quotes on mortgages, they will be referred on to Mojo for advice. This service will be rolled out on Money.co.uk first before being broadened out to the group’s other websites.
