Augmentum Fintech’s board has made an investment of £5m into online mortgage broking and lending platform Habito.

 

Habito launched in 2016 and in 2017, raised £18.5m towards its expansion in its Series B funding round led by technology investment firm Atomico.

Since its launch, the company has completed £2.4bn in mortgage submissions. 

In July, Habito released its first own brand mortgage products with a range aimed at buy-to-let landlords. 

Augentum was established in 2018 and is the UK’s only publicly listed investment company which focuses on the fintech sector.
