FinTech Disruptor NEFT LLC Raises $10 Million in Oversubscribed Series A Round

Lead Investors Include John Sculley, Former CEO of Apple; John Mack, Former CEO of Morgan Stanley


NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Sept. 8, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NEFT LLC, a financial technology company focused on developing innovative online credit tools and solutions, today announced that it has raised $10 million through an oversubscribed Series A offering.

More than a dozen funds participated in the capital raise, which included prominent technology and financial services investors John Sculley, the former CEO of Apple; John Mack, former Chairman and CEO of Morgan Stanley; and Kevin Knight, former chairman and CEO of Nordstrom fsb. Sculley and Knight were recently appointed to the NEFT board of directors.

NEFT will use the funds to accelerate the development of its first product offering, mPowerCredit™, a patented online platform that allows consumers to enhance their credit scores in real-time. The Company expects to launch the platform in 2016.

"Despite improvements in the U.S. economy, the American Dream continues to remain out of reach for a growing number of consumers, who are often provided with little actionable information and antiquated methods for improving their credit profiles," said G. Christopher Imrey, NEFT executive chairman. "Our mPowerCredit platform will not only deliver value to consumers, but also to bureaus, lenders and creditors who will benefit from reduced costs related to debt resolution, report updates and customer acquisitions."

"We are thrilled to have our new investors support NEFT's vision of transforming the consumer credit industry and helping consumers gain greater control over their financial destinies," said Chad Swensen, NEFT CEO. "The oversubscription of our Series A round by experienced consumer and financial services veterans like Sculley, Mack and Knight is a positive affirmation of the need for our solution and we look forward to staging a subsequent round to engage additional strategic investors."
