creditshelf wins the German Excellence Award 2019 / Top-class jury headed by patron Wolfgang Clement honours excellent 360° communication of the SME lender

Frankfurt (ots) - Following its successful debut last year, the
German Excellence Prize for outstanding achievements in business was
awarded for the second time in Frankfurt. creditshelf, the designer
of digital SME financing in Germany, was awarded first place in the
category Brand and Image for its excellent 360° communication. "I am
impressed by the great shape that German companies are in. They are
future-oriented, have innovative ideas and the courage to realize
their potential," summarizes the former Minister of Economics and
Labor and Minister President Wolfgang Clement, sponsor of the German
Excellence Award.

"We design SME financing: simple, fast and innovative. And our
marketing and communications activities are exactly the same," says
Dr. Daniel Bartsch, board member and founding partner of creditshelf,
excited about the award. For example, for the "creditshelf Financing
Monitor", the digital SME financer, together with the TU Darmstadt,
surveys 200 financial decision-makers from the German SME sector
every year. Additionally, since last year the Frankfurt-based Fintech
has been publishing the "creditshelf magazin" (Circulation: 100,000
copies) in order to inform companies, investors and consultants in
their respective situations and to provide them with a wealth of
information on modern SME financing.

"We won in the category Brand and Image, which honours us very
much as a company founded in 2014. After all, excellence is always a
bit better than good and you can't achieve more as a brand or image,"
says Dr. Mark Währisch, CEO of creditshelf. "As the only Fintech on
the German stock exchange, we are delighted to receive this
recognition", adds Dr. Tim Thabe, CEO and founding partner of
creditshelf.

The German Institute for Service Quality (DISQ), the DUB
UNTERNEHMER magazine and, since this year, the news channel n-tv have
presented the German Excellence Prize, which honours the achievements
of German companies and the people behind them. The prize is awarded
to companies, start-ups, agencies and entrepreneurs who have produced
excellent products, services, campaigns or initiatives. The winners
were chosen by a jury of independent representatives from business,
media and science (https://deutscherexzellenzpreis.de/#Jury).
