Vancouver, BC, December 14, 2018--(T-Net)--Progressa, a Vancouver and Toronto based financial technology company, announced that it has partnered with the Alternative Credit Fund to facilitate up to a $13 million forward flow whole loan purchase program to support the company's growing Point-of-Sale finance business called Progressa Connect.
Progressa CFO Kiya Hushyar, CA said, "Coming off the heels of an $84 million debt and equity fundraise, the Company plans to utilize this new facility from the Alternative Credit Fund in tandem with its existing whole loan sale securitization facilities in order to securitize a wider net of monthly receivables and drive down its blended cost of capital."
Progressa Connect is the only publicly available API in Canada for offering non-prime credit, providing connectivity to both Progressa's proprietary credit score and its core lending business and servicing platform, allowing Point-of-Sale platforms and originators to offer credit solutions to non-prime consumers in a 'turnkey' way. Today Progressa's platform partners serve Canadian merchants with several thousand storefronts across the country.
