The startup is now valued at more than \u00a370m.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The finance-made-easy disruptors of 2023<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Numerous companies have emerged in recent years <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to challenge the \u2018old ways\u2019 of finance<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, and disrupt and revolutionise the industry. These businesses are seeking to make people\u2019s lives easier with clever, tech-based solutions, whether by offering quick and straightforward mortgage applications or taking the pain out of tax time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yonder is making a name for itself as one of those key disruptors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since its founding in March 2022, Yonder\u2019s unique take on loyalty rewards was designed to re-introduce millennial and Gen Z consumers to credit cards, and to become the modern lifestyle rewards solution for young consumers to unlock the best experiences in their city.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The business began after founders Tim Chong, Theso Jivajirajah and Harry Jell were shocked by the difficulty of accessing quality credit products as Australian citizens in London, despite having stable incomes themselves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The London-based startup wants to make credit more accessible, particularly for younger customers. Aiming to revolutionise what its founders describe as the \u201carchaic\u201d method of credit checks in the UK, Yonder is one of the UK\u2019s only credit cards that use<\/span><b> Open Banking<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to evaluate credit suitability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This enables Yonder to build a more nuanced, personalised picture of its customers\u2019 spending habits based on transaction data, instead of relying on traditional credit checks alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Yonder CEO &amp; Co-founder Tim Chong<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> says: \u201cThe credit market needs a rebuild, and we firmly believe change happens through intuitive products designed to help customers with their best interests at heart. We can\u2019t wait for more people to experience credit the way it should be.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The future for Yonder<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Following this new round of funding, Yonder has stated that it plans to use the investment <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to power a hiring drive; to grow its rewards programme, and to expand into new UK cities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Northzone Partner, Jeppe Zink<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, says: \u201cWe are thrilled to continue to be part of the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yonder journey as young professionals eagerly seek a cutting-edge digital credit card that <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">delivers not only enhanced customer convenience but also genuine relevance. Yonder <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">addresses this need by establishing an exclusive membership club for a community of like-<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">minded individuals. The impressive early engagement metrics are a testament to the exceptional potential Yonder holds.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Overall, this new funding is a major win for Yonder and its investors, as it will allow the company to continue to grow and expand its business in a highly competitive industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yonder has now raised a total of \u00a382.85M from VC funds. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">They plan to extend their round to reward its early-stage members through a private crowdfund that will be going live in April.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/news\/yonder-series-a-round\/\" target=\"_blank\"
