Moneypark, a Swiss online mortgage broker, bucked the pandemic and plans to keep expanding its big data property platform this year. 

The Zurich-based property specialist concluded 3.4 billion Swiss francs ($3.8 billion) in home equity loans in 2020, it said in a statement on Friday. This brings Moneypark to 27 billion francs in mortgages granted.

The volume represents a new record for the loan broker, which began cooperating with UBS last year. CEO Stefan Heitmann said Moneypark's growth was broadly in all regions of Switzerland.

In 2021, the start-up wants to meet demand for mortgage advice, after recently launching a public big-data platform, its first foray into the property market itself. «We saw last year that professionally negotiating leads to record-high savings on mortgage rates, in a low interest rate environment, Heitmann said.
