FinTech Alloy Nett’s $52M at $1.55B Valuation
Alloy, which works to help banks and FinTechs with identity decisions and threat selection with API service and SaaS, is now valued at $1.55 billion after raising $52 million recently, a report so.
It comes 11 months after it raised $100 million for a $1.35 billion valuation.
There has been more demand for ways to help money businesses get more “good” customers and weed out the “bad” ones. This has helped Alloy increase its annual recurring revenue over the past year.
The company said its mission is to fight fraud and help banks and FinTechs stay compliant when onboarding new customers. The work helps buyers bring in buyer data, conventional credit score agency knowledge and more through integration.
The backdrop is the way fraud threats have advanced over time and how there are now “sophisticated” manufacturers who will potentially try to use stolen and artificial identities to open accounts and transfer and steal cash, according to Tommy Nicholas, co-founder and CEO of Alloy .
He said there has been more fraud by organizations and people who find themselves tricking people into committing fraud on their behalf, through social media.
Alloy has also partnered with Nova Credit to offer lenders a way to be more inclusive and serve customers across the spectrum — while avoiding fraud, PYMNTS wrote.

“Our mission at Alloy is to create a future where financial services are accessible to all, including access to credit for millions of people who don’t fit traditional profiles of creditworthiness,” Laura Spiekerman, co-founder and CRO of Alloy, said in the company’s press release.
