Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), a division of First Citizens Bank, has extended a $75 million warehouse financing facility to Carputty, a forward-thinking FinTech company that is at the vanguard of auto finance and ownership.
In addition, an outstanding group of investors contributed an additional $5 million in equity, with TTV Capital serving as the lead and contributions from Fontinalis Partners, Kickstart Fund, Kinetic Ventures, and Grand Ventures. With this combined investment endeavor, Carputty's most recent capital infusion surpasses $80 million.
The company offers clients a more flexible and transparent method to own and finance their cars, making it stand out in the FinTech sector for its creative approach to auto financing. Carputty wants to change how drivers and their financial obligations interact by offering a more customized and flexible financing option through its innovative platform.
Carputty intends to expand its operations and improve its service offerings with the additional cash. With this large investment and the expanded storage facility—which has a two-year term instead of a six-month one—Carputty will be able to fulfill the growing demand for its services. Along with strengthening the company's relationships with major players in the automotive sector like Turo and Lucid Motors USA, this strategic growth will enable it to sell direct-to-consumer products in all 48 states and territories, including the California market that will open in a short while.
The decision to establish in California is also noteworthy because the state accounts for almost 12% of the US vehicle market, offering Carputty a substantial chance to capitalize on additional growth with its ground-breaking FlexlineTM model. This concept is praised for providing consumers with a new approach to managing their auto loans and for its flexibility in auto finance.
"This marks a seminal moment for Carputty," stated Patrick Bayliss, co-founder and CEO of the company. Our vision for the future of auto financing and ownership is validated by the tremendous demand for our Flexline model, as we continue to develop partnerships across the automotive industry."
