SEP backs TotallyMoney in further £29m round
Hedge funds manager Elliott Advisors and VC firm Scottish Equity Partners (SEP) have provided a further £29m round of funding for UK fintech business TotallyMoney.
The investment is subject to FCA approval. TotallyMoney intends to use the fresh funds to accelerate customer acquisition and build out its technology platform.
SEP declined to disclose how much it contributed to the round.
Previous funding
SEP led a £17.5m funding round in for TotallyMoney in 2011. The deal was sourced proprietarily after SEP spotted the company in the 2010 Sunday Times Tech Track 100. The business had at the time also been looking for funding. SEP took a minority stake in the company following the transaction, which was supported by Media Ingenuity's founders.
Equity for the transaction was provided by the Scottish Equity Partners III fund.
