JustUs is a provider of crowdfunded financial products for consumers. The platform argues that savers are looking for alternative ways to grow their money and are looking increasingly to financial technology solutions given that bank rates are likely to be cut to -0.1% in 2021. JustUs aims to provide savers with a higher rate of return while supporting borrowers who struggle to find financial products on the high street. The platform is approved by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). JustUs has witnessed more than 850,000 successful transactions on its portal since launch, with £7 million worth of lender capital repaid, and £913,000 as interest paid to its lenders. It also successfully integrated global crypto banking application Moneybrain into its platform in 2020. JustUs will use the investment to support compliance and administration of the JustUs ‘Peoples Mortgage’ proposition, as well as, look into its IT and back-office recruitment.
