Seven West Media invests $10m in fintech Raiz

November 30, 2021 10:20

Seven West Media (SWM) has made an investment in fintech company Raiz, previously known as Acorn.

SWM has bought $10 million worth of shares, accounting for a 6.6% stake in Raiz, which is a fintech company that allows for micro-investing in the stock market through its different portfolios, as well as having a “spare change” feature that rounds up purchases to then be invested in shares. The $10 million will be split between $2 million in cash and the equivalent of $8 million in advertising across Seven’s broadcast television, publishing and digital media assets.

Probably worth noting that Seven hasn’t spent $10 million in cash in this investment, the deal is split between $2 million in cash and $8 million in advertising contra.
