Fintech founder Daniel Wessels takes out 2019's Young Entrepreneur Award for Finance

The founder and CEO of online lender, Jacaranda Finance, has had his second win at the Brisbane Young Entrepreneur Awards, taking the crown for Finance after his big win in the Professional Services category last year.

Last month, Business News Australia hosted their annual Brisbane Young Entrepreneur Awards in what was the biggest event yet for the river city. Hundreds of the city’s brightest business trailblazers converged on Rydges, South Bank, for one of the most tightly contested competitions the awards has ever seen.

With 17 awards presented, Wessels ultimately took home the title for the Finance category after another big year at his burgeoning fintech.

Since founding Jacaranda Finance in his parents’ basement back in 2014, Wessels has grown the company into a formidable online force. Today, the company processes thousands of personal loan applications per day thanks to their innovative, custom-built loan management system.

Wessels said it was innovation that drove him to start the company in the first place. “I had been working for a traditional lender that used legacy loan management systems for years when I realised there were better ways,” he said.
