Bumper provides an automotive payments platform focused on its PayLater product, which allows drivers to finance vehicle repairs and servicing by spreading costs over several months. The company positions itself as a tool to make car ownership more affordable and keep motorists on the road. Headquartered in Sheffield, Bumper has been steadily scaling across Europe, supported by both equity and credit facilities. Since 2021 it has partnered with Secure Trust Bank Commercial Finance (STB CF), gradually expanding its borrowing capacity to fuel growth. In 2023 the firm also closed an £8 million Series B extension to accelerate product rollout and European expansion. The newly enlarged £60 million STB CF facility gives Bumper significant firepower to onboard more garages and grow its customer base. Management emphasizes that the additional capital will specifically drive wider adoption of PayLater while enabling further investments and potential acquisitions.
