We are delighted to announce that LendingMetrics have secured a significant investment from LDC, the private equity investor that is part of Lloyds Banking Group. This investment will help us scale our presence in the UK’s fast-growing decisioning software and data market.

Led by co-founders CEO Neil Williams and Commercial Director David Wylie, LendingMetrics will use this backing to explore complementary acquisitions and diversify our presence in new vertical industries with similar credit risk challenges, such as the telecoms, utilities, and insurance markets.

The transaction was led by LDC Investment Director Oliver Schofield, Investment Manager Vera Kuehne, and Partner and Head of Region Dewi Hughes.

I am delighted that we have been able to agree this deal with such a highly regarded investor, committed to growth and expansion of UK home-grown businesses. The whole LendingMetrics team are responsible for the excellent reputation we have built in the decisioning technology sector and, with LDC’s backing, we look forward to leveraging our market-leading position to scale the business and identify new market opportunities and partnerships.

David Wylie, Commercial Director of LendingMetrics
