Hometap will use the funding to hire people across all functional areas, scale channel partner programmes, launch new alternative financing products and services, and expand across the US.

The fintech offers homeowners debt-free cash in exchange for a share of their home’s future value.

When the customer settles the investment or sells the property, Hometap receives a percentage of the sale price or current appraised value as per the agreement.

The alternative lending fintech has raised $95m in funding since its inception in 2017 and doubled its headcount in the past year.
