Many of you will know of Moola as TBK Capital raised significant funds
for that business a few years ago. Their impressive track history has seen the
group process over 400,000 loans, all digitally with no physical face-to-face
contact.
They originally launched in 2013 in the highly competitive space of short-term lending
with the market-leading brand Moola.co.nz. In 2017 their business model won the
prestigious Deloitte Fast 50 awards in technology and named second
fastest-growing company overall in New Zealand.
The group’s strategy to disrupt the traditional approach to non-bank finance (a
sector worth NZ$5.4 billion annually) is achieved through targeted brand
portfolios, cloud-based digital-first solutions, and the development of
scalable bespoke technology platforms.
With a mission statement “To be the top-of-mind digital lender in every market
we enter”, the group are pursuing the goal of establishing a billion-dollar
enterprise - which once realised will firmly placing it as one of the leading
digital lenders in the country.
Car finance
The next stage of expansion for the group, via their holding company NZFintech,
is into digital car finance under the newly established brand ZOOMA. This is now set to fully launch
following a successful NZ$50 million raise of a senior line of credit from a
syndicate of Australasian and Silicon Valley investors.
A recent article on the business show how ZOOMA
brings the car finance sector firmly into the 21st century by providing a
one-stop-shop for vehicle finance - both direct to consumers and via car
dealers and brokers. It offers six distinct tiers of products designed to cater
for all consumers and aims to provide an unmatched lending experience for a
digitally connected customer base.
Investment opportunity
The group is now seeking to raise up to $20 million of additional growth
capital – in the form of a convertible note issued by the group’s holding
company NZ Fintech Group Holdings Limited.
The funds will be used to support the expansion of the group and will
supplement their existing senior lines of credit.
