Neo Financial secures $185 million credit facility
Neo Financial has secured $185 million in credit through a facility led by ATB Financial in Canada.
Vancity, Beem Credit Union, Alterna Savings and Credit Union, and Innovation Federal Credit Union are also participating.
A warehouse facility lets a company borrow against a pool of assets without giving up equity or taking a traditional loan.
Neo says it will use the money to increase funding for its credit card receivables, the amounts customers owe on card purchases.
The agreement could rise to as much as $250 million, according to Neo co-founder Jeff Adamson, though the company has not outlined the full terms.
The funding follows recent expansion of Neo's credit card program, including four new cards launched in June, as the company also faces the loss of two major loyalty partnerships and recent staff cuts.
