Online mortgage marketplace Athena Home Loans has reportedly collected an colossal AUD 2bn ($1.5bn) in funding from Cerberus.
The investment was also backed by Cerberus’ non-bank lender subsidiary Bluestone, according to a report from Australian Broker. This deal represents one of the largest FinTech strategic partnerships in Australia.
Cerberus will supply the funds over the course of the next three years.
This funding comes just six months after it closed a AUD $300m ($235m) investment from Newcastle Permanent Building Society.
