Harmoney floats

Lender and former P2P specialist Harmoney has joined the stock market in Australia and New Zealand.

Thursday, November 19th 2020

The group, which closed its P2P business earlier this year, has raised a total of $100 million from investors.

It will fund the lender's expansion as it continues to offer personal loan products. 

Harmoney has its main listing in Australia. 

The company said: "Applications exceeded the IPO offer size of A$92.5 million, of which approximately A$70.0 million (before costs) will be used to fund Harmoney’s growth as it accelerates originations in Australia and New Zealand and the funding of loans by bank-funded warehouse facilities. Voluntary escrow arrangements are in place for all significant existing shareholders, including Founder, Neil Roberts and CEO, David Stevens, with 72.3% of the total shares on issue to be subject to voluntary escrow arrangements."
