THINCATS has received full authorisation from the Financial Conduct Authority, paving the way for the launch of its Innovative Finance ISA.

The peer-to-peer business lender announced the news on Tuesday and said it is planning to launch its tax-free wrapper, subject to obtaining ISA manager status from HMRC.

It said the authorisation paves the way for the platform to offer “a full spectrum of smart investment products,” with a number of developments planned.

“We are very happy that more and more alternative finance providers are now being authorised, as it ultimately proves that the industry deserves the trust and confidence of investors, advisors and SME borrowers alike.”
