Did you know that around 45 million U.S. consumers lack credit scores, leaving them facing higher borrowing costs or no access to credit?

 

Lendbuzz is a Boston-based startup that offers auto loans to people who lack credit history. Lendbuzz uses artificial intelligence to offer fair rates that looks at a borrower’s full financial picture, not just their credit score. We are expanding access to fair credit – come join us!

 

Lendbuzz raised $360 million of debt and equity in the first half of 2021. The funding injection will help us expand from the around 500 U.S. car dealerships we currently work with…we want to lift that number to thousands! The equity funding round was led by Wellington Management and Goldman Sachs and MUFG Innovation Partners, the venture capital arm of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, joined the round.
