€32.0M
The financing package includes a Series B round and credit backing from BlackRock-managed funds.
"This milestone marks a defining moment for BKN301"
$90.0M
The funding round doubles the insurtech unicorn's valuation to over $2bn with backing from Portage, BlackRock, and Columbia Lake Partners.
"Our ambition is to become a one-stop-financial-shop for newcomers so they feel as though it’s easy to move to, and live in, a different country. We’ve already supported over one million people in the UK with their insurance needs, but we’re only just scratching the surface. There are still major financial services barriers that make it harder for newcomers to settle and take part in everyday life. This funding gives us the capital to solve these problems and deliver against our mission."
$15.0M
The payments fintech has raised $15m in debt financing from BlackRock to scale its global footprint.
"This investment represents an exciting new chapter for Sokin – one filled with immense opportunities for growth and innovation. By joining forces with the Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital team, we gain access to unparalleled resources and expertise which we believe will enable us to accelerate our growth trajectory and better serve our customers."
The investment was led by existing backers BlackRock and JPMorgan Chase to support the company as it scales its core banking technology.
"There has never been a more exciting time for banking transformation and core modernization, as banks across the world embark on this journey"
