Three years ago, Graham Strain boldly predicted that CitoPlus would be a future leader in commercial lending.  Our recent investment in CitoPlus' Series A fundraising reflects a deep belief in this potential! The Australian commercial lending market has long been trapped in paperwork, manual processes, and frustratingly slow approvals. Business owners know this pain all too well - that's why many have traditionally relied on brokers to navigate this complex landscape. But the market is changing. Brokers are increasingly seeking digital solutions that can deliver what businesses desperately want: speed, certainty, and transparency. Citoplus has built a digital platform that enables brokers to automate the collection of key data, complete digital pre-assessments, and digital digitally submit (and resubmit) loan applications with unprecedented efficiency.   The vision is compelling - a streamlined commercial lending process that makes financing faster and more accessible for Australian business owners, brokers, and banks like ANZ. 1835i are proud to have co-lead this investment with NAB Ventures!

Efficiency and simplicity are paramount in delivering better customer outcomes. NAB Ventures is thrilled to have invested a minority stake in digital broker platform CitoPlus, co-leading its Series A Round alongside 1835i. Streamlining the commercial lending process by providing a digital broker solution that improves data quality & automation, reduces approval times and helps eliminate fraud is a great outcome for all stakeholders involved.  Read more about the investment in CitoPlus’ article here: https://lnkd.in/gB5PzK8m Amanda Angelini, Hermia Leung, Leonhard Hopkins Graham Strain, Richard Winkett 1835i
