Tic:Toc, also known as Tic:Toc Home Loans, is an Australian FinTech company and non-bank home lender based in Adelaide, South Australia.[2] Founded in 2015, but launched to the public in July 2017, Tic:Toc offers automated digital home loans to consumers while selling their automation technology to other lending businesses.[3][4][5] Bendigo and Adelaide Bank are a major shareholder, owning a 27 percent stake in the business.

History[]

Tic:Toc was founded in 2015 by Anthony Baum, and secured seed funding in 2016 from Bendigo and Adelaide Bank, who also provide the funds for Tic:Toc’s home loans.[1][6] In March 2017, the company closed its Series A funding round, securing A$4.1 million in further funds from Bendigo and Adelaide Bank.[1]

The company officially launched its home loan offering in July 2017.[7] In December 2017, Tic:Toc announced an expansion of services to include Tasmania, officially expanding their serviceable area to cover all states of Australia.[8]

Tic:Toc closed a Series B funding round in July 2018, raising A$11.5 million.[9] The raise was led by La Trobe Financial and Genworth Financial’s Australian arm, Genworth Mortgage Insurance Australia.[9]

In November 2018, Tic:Toc announced it would offer their technology to Bendigo and Adelaide Bank as part of their first enterprise partnership.[10] In March 2019, Bendigo Bank launched Bendigo Express, a digital home loan white-labelled under the Bendigo Bank brand.[10]

On February 5 2020, Tic:Toc launched its first software offering, XAI Validate, which uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to automate the validation of customer data.[5][11]

In April 2021, Tic:Toc announced the launch of its second white-label partnership with Aussie Home Loans, branded as Aussie Online[5][12]
