Tuesday 19th June 2018, London. ezbob is pleased to announce Honeycomb’s investment in its Round C fundraising and the appointment of Lindsey McMurray to the Board of Directors.
ezbob is leading the field in delivering a highly innovative ‘Lending as a Service’ platform, which is already in use at Esme Loans and Clydesdale Yorkshire Bank.
The investment will accelerate the firm’s ability to create a ‘one-stop’ automated lending platform portfolio and achieve its ambitious expansion plans into new geographical regions.
Tomer Guriel, founder and CEO of ezbob stated, “We are delighted Honeycomb has invested in the business and are very excited about the wealth of new opportunities this represents for the firm. On behalf of the team, I would like to welcome Lindsey into the ezbob family. Her involvement is a huge vote of confidence in our technology, management and future strategic plans. Our initial focus is on the SME community, many of whom struggle to acquire the financial support they need to achieve their personal and professional business development goals. My vision is to create a portfolio of innovative solutions which streamline and accelerate the entire lending process for both the borrowers and loan providers. With the support of highly experienced individuals like Lindsey, together with the new funding, there is nothing to stop us from turning our shared vision into a sustainable reality.”
Lindsey McMurray said: “SMEs are a vital part of our economy and deserve a better, faster customer experience than the one they have typically received from the lenders, many of whom are constrained by legacy systems and lengthy decision-making processes. We have watched ezbob develop from being a niche player into a leading lending platform provider and I am looking forward to working with the team and helping to take the firm to the next level. ezbob are pioneers in this space and I believe both the financial institutions and the businesses they support will derive significant benefits from this new and innovative approach to lending.”
