Valsabbina Bank and Siav Purchase 25% of MyCreditService

Credit Service Spa, a fintech company based in Venice and specialized in invoice management and supply chain finance services, has signed an investment agreement with Valsabbina Bank and Siav, a Padua-based company leader in the Enterprise Content Management sector.

The transaction will allow the two investors to acquire a total of 25% of the company that owns the MyCreditService.com platform, and also provides for an exit plan equal to 2X for the investors that in June 2019 had supported the company through an equity crowdfunding campaign on the Fundera platform. The shares of the “crowd” investors will in fact be acquired by the company itself, in the meantime become a Spa, which will use them for its own stock-option plans. The campaign, which raised more than $267,500 (€220,000) for a pre-money value of $3.16 million (€2.6 million), was attended, among the 30 investors, also by the certified incubators Digital Magics and Trentino Sviluppo.
