Capital on Tap announced Thursday that it has secured a $237 million credit line from $3.8 trillion JPMorgan and investment firm Triple Point. The U.K.-based fintech provides fast funding to small businesses in an all-in-one business credit card and spend management platform.
The company was founded in 2012, and more than 200,000 small business customers have spent $4.7 billion using Capital on Tap’s business cards, according to a release.
The investment allows JPMorgan to work “with Capital on Tap on this new facility to fund credit card lending to support small businesses throughout the U.K.,” Rob Tanna-Smith, executive director at JPMorgan, said in a statement.
The credit line comes four months after the company secured $200 million in funding to expand its U.S. operations with support from investment firm Varde Partners and $2.96 trillion HSBC. Capital on Tap has raised a total of $1.3 billion over five rounds, according to Crunchbase.
