We couldn’t be more excited to announce that we have raised £272m debt and equity round allowing the business to build on our mission to help UK households move away from expensive credit cards and overdrafts. 🎉💃🚀🍾 Through this latest round, we completed a £250m forward flow arrangement with Jefferies Financial Group with Santander CIB providing Senior Financing and secured further £22m Mezz and equity investment led by Quilam Capital, MoreThan Capital, LC Nueva AIF and Auluk Investments. Updraft was advised by Alantra on the design and execution of the forward flow arrangement. This announcement concludes a strong year for Updraft, which uses best in class risk models that outperform traditional bureau-based credit risk models by combining bureau data, open banking data and behavioural data to better underwrite credit risk and lower the cost of credit. Our business has now grown to 500,000 users and has successfully empowered individuals to take back control of their finances, by paying off more than £225m in credit cards and overdraft debt. The influx of capital sees Updraft reach profitability in 2024 and invest in our platform business. A big thank you to Team Updraft, our users, investors and partners. ❤️ Full story: news link below Aseem Munshi Matt Millar https://lnkd.in/eRv2N-Ks
