Victory Park Capital provides $225m credit facility to Zip

Victory Park Capital (VPC), a global alternative investment firm specialising in private credit, has provided a $225m credit facility to Zip, a global ‘buy now pay later’ fintech operating in Australia, New Zealand and the Americas, as part of a refinancing agreement. 

This third transaction between VPC and Zip is intended to “support the growth of Zip’s US receivables,” according to a press release. In 2015, the two companies first struck a deal with an AUD108m asset-backed warehouse facility that later grew to AUD200m. In 2020, VPC and Zip closed an AUD100m debt facility intended to fund receivables and support Zip’s business platform.

Larry Diamond, co-founder and US CEO at Zip, said: “This pivotal transaction marks a significant step in bolstering Zip’s expansion within the US market.”
