Zopa is examining a bid for parts of DivideBuy, a buy now pay later provider backed by Davidson Kempner Capital Management, Sky News understands.
The funding round saw the stake held by SoftBank's Vision Fund 2 marginally diluted after the Japanese investor opted not to participate, according to insiders.
A spokesperson at Zopa Bank said:"Acquisitions form part of the growth journey of most technology firms looking to scale, and feature in the regular menu of options that support accelerated growth. "While we don't have something official to announce just yet, Zopa is well positioned to explore M&A as it has always focused on strong unit economics and monetisation."Additionally, with a banking licence and a multi-product eco-system it has diversity of revenue and funding, as well as strong products that have high growth rates."It has since pivoted to focus on more mainstream banking services.
It experienced a rocky period in 2019, however, and was forced to scramble to raise £140m in order to avoid losing its fledgling banking licence. New investors in that round were led by IAG Capital Partners, a US-based private investment firm, while it has also been backed by existing long-term shareholders such as the listed group Augmentum Fintech.
