What the investors have to comment
Bobby Aitkenhead, co-founder and Managing Director at IDC Ventures, further said, “Curve isn’t just aggregating funding sources into one credit card, they’re revolutionising how we perceive and access our money. Thanks to their unique technology and Layer 3 (OTT) approach, they have the capability to intercept the transaction and supercharge the customer experience with its Double Dip Rewards or eliminate nasty hidden fees. And they do it seamlessly, without any need for the customer to change the cards they pay with. This, in turn, gives Curve 360 view of customer finance, a wealth of data which allows Curve to offer a superior, personalised experience for customers, coupled with a strong business model, as they’ve proven in the past 12 months. Our conviction in Curve grew substantially upon witnessing the remarkable capabilities and proven history of its founder and the team he built around him.”
In addition, Daniel Cohen, Co-Founder of Cohen Circle, said, “We’re so excited about Curve and its potential to be a payments super app, as well as its ability to change the way consumers treat their cards and credit as part of a holistic payment methodology. It continues to build and provide its users with great value.”
