Splitit pulls in fresh funding
PayTech venture Splitit has raised $30 million AUD in new equity, with plans to raise up to $10 million AUD through a share purchase plan. This builds on the closing of its initial public offering (IPO) earlier this year.

Following our successful IPO, we have seen rising demand for our one-of-a-kind solution,” says Gil Don, Splitit CEO and Co-Founder.
