“The funds from the Placement and SPP will be used for working and regulatory capital to support the continued growth of the business both domestically and in Asia.

“Since launching in 2016, the Company has made significant progress, with strong and consistent growth in both active customers which reached 207,824 and funds under management which reached $410.96 million as at 31 October 2019.

“Raiz is well placed to continue to deliver strong growth by capitalising on its well-established platform with multiple and diverse revenue streams across savings, investing, superannuation, spending, partnerships and advertising.

“There exists a favourable market opportunity in Australia with a highly engaged, diverse and rapidly growing customer base, along with the opportunity to cross sell new products and grow subscriber revenues”, he said.
