Pheonix Group, a savings and retirement firm, has invested £15 million in Moneyhub, open finance and data platform.
According to Finextra, the new funds come on the heels of a £35 million loan from Legal & General and Lloyds Banking Group in October and a £5 million debt facility from Shawbrook.
In addition, Pheonix Group will become a minority shareholder in Moneyhub, joining Lloyds and Legal & General.
Through a prior fiscal wellness proposition for workplace pension customers, Phoenix unit Standard Life already has a commercial relationship with Moneyhub. With this new round of funding, the two will look to expand their partnership.
Moneyhub mentioned the UK’s upcoming Consumer Duty and Pension Dashboard legislation, claiming its open data technology will assist Standard Life.
