What do clients think of Owlin?
Some example testimonials:
“Owlin always puts you in the center of their service.”
Barry Landegent, Head of Merchant Potential Liability Risk at Adyen
“Recently we reviewed an investment in a supermarket with the company itself providing much information – how they try to greenify their business, improve the quality of the products, etc. On the other hand, we found articles that they had disruptions with the workforce, making them work extra hours without additional payments. And that is also a part of ESG. Having found this, we decided against making the investment.”
Wim Van Nes, Head of Credit Risk at NN IP
“The combination of our platform and Owlin makes it increasingly easy for clients to access news and insights. For example, we can send them daily updates about topics of interest both globally and in Brazil or tailor specific products, which make our approach more proactive and helps build better relationships with our clients.”
Roberto Attuch, Founder and CEO of OHM Research
