Happy Money, the Costa Mesa, California-based fintech that operates a marketplace that hooks borrowers up with credit union lenders, has raised $70 million in venture funding at a valuation of $495 million. The Series D round of funding was led by CMFG Ventures, the venture capital arm of CUNA Mutual Group. The round is double its previous fundraising efforts and is more of a strategic investment. CUNA Mutual Group does business with 95% of the credit unions in the U.S. giving Happy Money access to more partners. Under the investment deal, Happy Money will work with CUNA Mutual’s sales force to reach more credit unions.
