Pleasanton, CA – SavvyMoney, a fintech innovator in the consumer credit score space serving 796 financial institutions, today announced it has raised $45 million from Spectrum Equity, a leading growth equity firm. TransUnion, an existing investor and strategic partner, also participated in the round.

SavvyMoney enables banks and credit unions to better serve their customers with comprehensive credit score analysis, full credit reporting, monitoring, financial wellness tools, and personalized pre-qualified loan offers – all in one single dashboard.

Throughout its rapid growth, the SavvyMoney team has maintained its focus on providing a truly exceptional customer experience to online banking providers and their financial institutions.
