The investment of Legal & General in Moneyhub is partially subject to regulatory approval.

Legal & General fintech managing director Wian Pieterse said: “At Legal & General we believe data is key to helping customers make informed decisions and ultimately get better financial outcomes. Moneyhub is a leading provider in open data and so was an obvious choice for us to invest in to accelerate our commercial goals and support the growth of our Workplace savings business.”

This is the largest funding round of Moneyhub so far and comes after an $18m raise in early last year that was led by the founder of Direct Line and Esure, Sir Peter Wood with support of earlier investors, including Nationwide Building Society.

Currently, Moneyhub works with over 100 clients, including 30 enterprise firms within financial services, retail, and telecoms, including Aon, KPMG, Mercer, Nationwide Building Society, Samsung, and Vodafone touching 150 million end-users across the UK and globally.
