Firenze raises £6m in a seed round led by AlbionVC to accelerate global credit infrastructure expansion.
The financing round was led by AlbionVC with ongoing backing from Outward and Form Ventures.
Firenze operates a Lombard lending platform that enables wealth managers and investment platforms to offer asset backed credit solutions. The firm provides embedded finance infrastructure to facilitate liquidity access for investors.
London based fintech Firenze has secured £6m in a seed funding round led by AlbionVC. The raise includes participation from existing backers Outward and Form Ventures, arriving shortly after the company achieved rapid growth over the previous year.
The fresh capital will be deployed to expand the firm team, enhance software capabilities for banks, and scale product offerings into new international markets. Firenze has experienced significant volume acceleration, driven by increased demand for liquidity solutions across wealth management partners representing substantial assets under management.
