MIAMI–(BUSINESS WIRE)–BMG Money announced today that it has secured a $300 million financing facility with Utah-based WebBank, a leading national issuer of consumer credit products, and Waterfall Asset Management. This new facility, combined with BMG Money’s existing warehouse lines and forward flow arrangements, brings the company’s total financing capacity to approximately $1 billion, positioning BMG Money to significantly expand access of responsible credit solutions to financially underserved employees across the United States.
This announcement builds on BMG Money’s successful partnership with WebBank. The new financing facility will provide BMG Money with enhanced flexibility and capacity to meet surging demand from employees seeking alternatives to traditional lending options, which often include high interest rates and fees.

“We are proud to expand our partnership with BMG Money through this new facility,” said Jason Lloyd, President & CEO of WebBank. “BMG Money continues to demonstrate innovation and meaningful impact in supporting financial inclusion. This expanded partnership will help broaden access to financial solutions for working Americans and further our shared commitment of empowering consumers nationwide.”
