The company effectively reopened the consumer credit asset-backed security (ABS) market in May with a USD 200 million ABS fully managed by its AI, marking its first insurance amongst marketplace lenders in months, and seventh deal till date. Within just a year and a half, the company has a total ABS insurance of over USD 1 billion. "It's extraordinary to see the Pagaya team deliver on their promise to bring in a new era of asset management using unparalleled technology," said Harvey Golub, Retired Chairman and CEO of American Express, and Pagaya board member. "The firm continues to significantly and effectively innovate in a space that has failed to evolve for decades. Pagaya is driving the future of asset management."
The company will use proceeds from the investment round to hire more top-tier data scientists, develop its technology further, and continue its pursuit of new asset classes, such as real estate and other fixed-income assets like auto loans mortgages, and corporate credit.
