-- Fundraise follows record-breaking second
quarter as company is poised for further merchant and consumer
adoption --
Splitit (ASX:SPT), the only global payment platform that enables
shoppers to pay installments via their credit cards, announces
today it has raised $71.5 million dollars in a private placement
and share purchase plan (“SPP”). The fundraise has attracted a
number of top institutional investors including Woodson Capital
Management, L.P.
This fundraise comes after last month’s announcement by Splitit
of record Q2 growth as the company continues to drive conversion
and increase Average Order Value (AOV) for e-commerce merchants.
The funds will be used to accelerate sales and marketing, plus
further investments in product and technology.
Splitit empowers shoppers to maximize the credit they’ve earned
through responsible cash flow management. Throughout the second
quarter of 2020, Splitit processed over $65 million in merchant
sales volume, growing 176 percent quarter over quarter and 260
percent year over year and reported $2.4M in revenue for the second
quarter, growing 460 percent year over year. As a proof point of
Splitit’s accelerating adoption and brand recognition for its
differentiated value proposition in the Buy Now Pay Later space,
Splitit is currently used by over 1000 ecommerce merchants, and
309,000 shoppers with an Average Order Value of $893.
“Splitit has consistently been building the foundation to scale,
and all indicators show that the time is now to accelerate our
growth,” said Brad Paterson, CEO of Splitit. “We are excited to
welcome new global institutional investors as part of this fund
raise, including Woodson Capital Management, in addition to the
support of our current investors.”
As the Buy Now Pay Later space continues to grow
internationally, Splitit is quickly becoming the go-to player for
e-commerce merchants looking to better meet the cash management
needs of shoppers. “Especially now, we are pleased to offer Splitit
shoppers the chance to responsibly manage their cash flow needs
without incurring new debt.” Throughout the year, Splitit has
announced partnerships with Visa, Mastercard and Stripe.
“We look forward to accelerating merchant and consumer adoption
of Splitit in our core markets with this additional capital,” adds
Paterson. “We are proud to play a part in helping businesses thrive
as they better meet the needs of their shoppers.”
