Oxford Capital Invests in Noggin HQ to Revolutionise Credit Access for Young People
London, UK – Oxford Capital is excited to announce its recent investment in Noggin HQ, the pioneering fintech startup dedicated to transforming the credit system.
Founded by Eva Atkinson and Laura Mills, Newcastle-based Noggin HQ seeks to democratise the credit system by utilising alternative data sources to enhance credit assessments for those individuals who may lack extensive borrowing histories. This initiative is particularly resonant today, as traditional credit scoring mechanisms often fail to reflect the true creditworthiness of younger generations.
Oxford Capital led Noggin HQ’s pre-seed investment round, joined by other notable investors, including Bethnal Green Ventures, Syndicate Room, and Ada Ventures.
“Our investment in Noggin HQ aligns perfectly with our strategy of empowering companies that are not only forward-thinking but also socially impactful,” said Richard Oakley, Senior Investment Manager for Oxford Capital. “Noggin’s unique approach promises to offer more equitable access to financial products for a demographic that is crucial for our future economy but is often overlooked by existing credit systems.”
To provide deeper insight into Noggin HQ’s mission and its founders’ visions, Oxford Capital is pleased to share a recent video interview with Eva Atkinson. In this discussion, Atkinson explains how Noggin is not just a business, but a movement to overhaul how financial trust is built and assessed.
