en.Wedoany.com Reported - Canadian fintech company Nesto announced the completion of a new funding round, securing $107 million in principal capital and $195 million in secondary capital. The funds will be used to develop technology and artificial intelligence capabilities to accelerate platform expansion and attract more partners and clients. This round was supported by new investors La Caisse, Fidelity, Picton Investments, and Endeavor Catalyst, as well as returning investors Portage, Diagram, NAventures, Fonds de solidarité FTQ, and Fondaction.

Co-founder and CEO Malik Yacoubi told BetaKit that combining deep vertical expertise with technology and AI solutions is key to creating value. Two years ago, Nesto acquired CMLS Group, Canada's third-largest mortgage finance company, expanding its workforce from 350 to 1,100 employees. An undisclosed Series D round was conducted at the time to complete the acquisition.

Currently, all of Nesto's business segments are experiencing growth, with mortgage origination exceeding $37 billion this year and mortgages under management surpassing $80 billion, achieving profitable operations across Canada. The new financing coincides with the launch of Nesto's Maestro AI platform, a tool that claims to underwrite a transaction in under two minutes, compared to the traditional process that takes at least a day or longer. Yacoubi stated that the launch of Maestro AI is part of the company's transformation from an online mortgage lender to a "mortgage ecosystem" builder, which will eventually develop white-label technology for Canadian financial institutions.
