Canadian digital lender QuadFi has secured a $100m financing facility from Crayhill Capital Management, a minority-owned private credit manager.
QuadFi will use the proceeds to offer personal loans to people with limited credit history but a ‘strong’ source of income and ‘promising’ financial outlook such as immigrants.

Crayhill Capital Management managing director Sloan Sutta said: “We are incredibly excited to partner with QuadFi and support their mission-driven growth. We believe that their cutting-edge technology and business model will enable them to deliver value to investors, clients and stakeholders across the economy.”
Traditional risk models rely on historical credit data to make credit decisions.
Whereas QuadFi uses a new and adaptive underwriting model that uses credit data from customers’ home countries, alternative data and open banking to make informed credit decisions.
This business model caters mainly to newcomers and younger demographic groups who have a little credit history but bright prospects.
