A little over a two years ago – by only a few weeks mind you – SmartHippo announced their beta launch to the world. Since that launch SmartHippo as continued to grow and evolve into a very interesting platform for consumers looking for the lowest rates. The combination of consumer feedback, ratings and bank posted interest rates gives an interesting spin on the evolution of transparency in the industry. The mortgage crisis hasn’t been nice for many start ups in the industry but SmartHippo continues to make big strides in their continued evolution.
Today they announced two very big developments. 1. The naming of former LendingTree General Manager, Lori Collins as their new CEO. 2. The expansion into the Spanish market with launch of HipoListo.es.
