CityAM, and follows Softbank's $800 million investment in the firm earlier this year, when it was valued at $3.5 billion. This investment is in the form of convertible loan notes that will be switched to primary and secondary shares over time, Greensill has earmarked the latest tranche of capital for the expansion of its fast-growing business:
Greensill will use some of its fresh capital to expand the geographies it operates in and further invest in its technology. It's already become a key player in the niche business of supply chain financing, unlocking more than $150 billion of financing to over 8 million suppliers and clients in 2019 alone. This success has partially been driven by its vast reach: It provides solutions in 165 countries.
It'll also use part of the capital to expand into tangential business lines via acquisitions. As part of the funding news, Greensill announced that it reached an agreement to acquire UK-based FreeUp, which allows employees to access earned wages that they've yet to receive.
Expanding into the consumer segment can help Greensill double down on its early success — but also turn up the heat on the payday segment. The payday space has been in the UK recently: QuickQuid, the country's largest payday lender, collapsed into administration on Friday. A number of others also shuttered following a regulatory crackdown that restricted how much they could charge customers. Greensill's tie-up with FreeUp is likely another nail in the coffin for the struggling industry. For Greensill, though, there's a substantial opportunity for it to tap into the large market these players are leaving behind.

Great strictly could be over in 5 seconds way to go I watch almost everything on YouTube at 2x. I could see the usefulness of watching some things on Netflix at 2x but, honestly, that would really mess up most movies and shows. MichaelDelales I love this idea. I use it on YouTube all the time.
