Zool Capital acquires ThinCats Australia

Zool Capital has acquired ThinCats Australia, a well-established name in SME lending, and is set to relaunch in February 2025 with a renewed focus on bridging the funding gap for small and medium-sized businesses.

The relaunch is led by Victor Ferreira, who previously founded and successfully scaled Grenke Australia into a market leader into his segment. With a strong background in financial services and a proven ability to grow businesses, he brings a fresh approach to SME lending, combining technology and customer centricity.

Zool Capital leverages a proprietary AI-powered Credit Decision Engine, integrating real-time financial data through Open Banking/Data to deliver:

• Instant credit decisions
• A seamless and end-to-end digital borrowing experience
• A borrower platform that empowers borrowers to understand their borrowing capacity at any point in time

By simplifying access to capital and removing the barriers of traditional lending, Zool Capital empowers small businesses to focus on sustainable growth through smarter, faster, and more tailored funding solutions.
