Our take

Selina Finance is a digital lending platform that plans to offer a variety of lending products so homeowners can make more flexible use of the equity value in their home.

The company is starting with a home equity loan product, arguing that it can utilise the £2 Trillion of locked-up value in homes to finance low-interest loans. Home equity loans already exist, but are associated with high costs and poor customer experience. Selina Finance wants to change the perception of home equity lending, and are focused on ensuring that its customer experience is seamless.

With Selina just announcing their Series B of $150M and a previous partnership with Pepper, an award-winning loan servicing company, they are quickly becoming a market staple, providing great service without having to build a customer service team and processes from scratch.
