London-based Aire.io, the startup that is democratizing credit scores for people with thin or no credit files announced a $1.1 million round of funding today.

  • Andrew Mullinger
  • Peter Jackson
  • Tom Glocer

Aire pulled in its initial Seed round of $300k in the summer of 2014. When added to the second Seed round in today’s announcement, the startup’s funding totals just under $1.5 million.

Aire’s recently launched Credit API enables lenders to perform a credit check on people who do not have financial history on file with traditional credit bureaus. Its predictive algorithms assign a score to consumers based on self-declared data and other reliable sources, such as LinkedIn.

The startup is a TechStars company, and has received multiple other accolades. Here are the latest:

  • Fintech City: Hottest Ten Fintech of Europe
  • Business Insider: Top 15 Start-ups in Europe
  • DataMonitor Financial: FinTracker Award

Aire launched its Credit API at FinovateEurope 2015 in London. Check out the live demo video.

Betterment Raises a Fresh $60 Million in Round Led by Francisco Partners

By Julie Muhn (@julieschicktanz) Posted on
Categories: Betterment, Funding

BettermentLogo8.25.jpg

In what amounts to almost double its previous funding round, Betterment has pulled in $60 million in VC investment. The series D round was led by Francisco Partners, a technology-focused private equity firm. Existing investors Bessemer Venture Partners, Menlo Ventures and Northwestern Mutual also contributed.

The new installment boosts Betterment’s total funds to $105 million and will be used to speed transactions and rollovers for its 65,000 customers, as well as enhance branding for advisor apps and services.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Betterment is now valued at $400 to $500 million. In comparison, competitors Personal Capital and Wealthfront are valued at $250 million and $700 million, respectively.

In a conversation with Investment News, Betterment CEO, Jon Stein, stated, “We didn’t need to raise the money today,” He says it still has $20 million in the bank from its last funding round. However, he goes on, “We’re getting a lot of interest from investors.”

BettermentHomepage.jpg

Betterment, which manages about $1.4 billion in assets, fits in the “robo-advisor” category; it seeks to disrupt the wealth management space with specialized algorithms and tools that use automation to lower the cost of a personal advisor service. CB Insights reports that robo-advisors raised a cumulative $290 million in funding last year, double the amount raised in 2013.

Betterment demonstrated its Multiple Goals Feature at FinovateFall 2011.

Finsphere Lands $1.8 Million, Partners with Visa

By Julie Muhn (@julieschicktanz) Posted on
Categories: Finsphere, Funding

finsphere.jpg

Finsphere, a company that uses mobile phone location data to authenticate a consumer’s identity, announced $1.8 million in new funding last week. The new round is internal, with an additional contribution from an unnamed investor. Its funding now totals $33 million.

More notably, the Bellevue-based company partnered with Visa to offer what the credit card company is calling Mobile Location Confirmation. Visa will use Finsphere to ensure the GPS location of the customer’s smartphone matches the location their credit card is swiped. This helps eliminate unnecessary purchase declines, while ensuring the purchase isn’t fraudulent.

FinsphereHomepage.jpg

In a dovetail announcement this week, Finsphere also reported that it will bring retail banking executive Deanna Oppenheimer on board as a strategic advisor.

Finsphere demonstrated its identity security service at FinovateEurope 2012.

It was another blockbuster week with 13 companies raising a total of $695 million. However, $500 million of that was not a pure fintech play, as China’s Ant Financial (which runs Alipay) took at 25% stake in Indian mobile payments and ecommerce hub, One97, which runs Paytm. Even without that gargantuan deal, there was still $200 million invested into the sector, with $125 million of that (63%) put into the lending sector and $61 million (31%) earmarked for billing and payments.

The total included one Finovate alum, AdviceGames ($570,000), which demoed at last week’s FinovateEurope (demo videos will be available at Finovate.com by the end of the month).
