Investor Fact Sheet

Name: Latitude Financial Services
Business Description:

Latitude is a digital payments, instalments, and lending platform. Latitude has a long history in financial services since Australian Guarantee Corporation (‘AGC’), one of Latitude’s predecessor businesses, was founded in the 1920s, providing finance for the purchasing of household items. Latitude traces its recent corporate history back to a range of acquisitions made by GE in Australia and New Zealand, including the Coles Myer store card, Nissan Finance, Avco Financial (including Hallmark Insurance) and AGC. In 2015, a consortium of investors consisting of KKR, Värde Partners, and Deutsche Bank acquired the business from GE, and the business was subsequently renamed Latitude Financial Services. The business today provides a range of payments and instalments products (including LatitudePay, Genoapay, Gem Visa, GO Mastercard, and CreditLine), and lending products (28° Global, Infinity Rewards and Low Rate credit cards, as well as Latitude personal loans and motor loans1) in Australia and New Zealand. Headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, Latitude employs approximately 800 FTE staff as at 31 December 2023.

1Motor loans are not currently offered in New Zealand. Personal loans are used for this purpose in New Zealand.
