Facility to Support Strong Demand Among Consumers Driven by Merchant Adoption, Embedded Financing Partnerships, and the Expansion of Sunbit No-Fee Credit Card
Sunbit, the company building financial technology for real life, announced that it closed a $355 million debt warehouse facility led by J.P. Morgan, Mizuho Bank Ltd. and Waterfall Asset Management. This marks Sunbit’s second debt warehouse facility announcement in 2024, following the news of a $310 million facility with Citi and Ares Management earlier this year.
Sunbit, which built its reputation for providing access to fair, transparent and accessible financing through its market-leading BNPL technology, has seen significant growth in new markets and products in 2024. Despite never charging fees of any kind for its buy-now, pay-over-time solution or credit card available in retailers, Sunbit is growing in the top 10% of private financial technology companies in the country.
Arad Levertov, CEO of Sunbit, said, “Sunbit is a customer-first business, and we have always prioritized doing the right thing for consumers. Our technology helps merchants and businesses offer solutions with no fees and better, more transparent and fair financial terms, and even introduced true 0% interest to many customers. This is done through our consistent commitment to offering access to attractive personalized offers. We’re thrilled to have the support of J.P. Morgan, Mizuho and Waterfall Asset Management in order to reach more people than ever as we move our business forward.”
