Planky raises €6.9M co-led by Innovation Global and Azimut for AI credit decisioning

Planky, the UK financial data platform owned by BKN301 Group, has raised €6.9 million. The round was co-led by Innovation Global, advised by SM Capital, and by funds of the Azimut Venture Capital Digitech Europe strategy, managed by Azimut Investments and advised by FNDX.

Planky, formerly FriendlyScore, is an account information service provider and credit reference agency. It analyses personal and business bank data, statements and payment provider data in real time, uses AI to categorise transactions and assess income and risk, and returns approve, refer or reject decisions to lenders.

The money goes to AI products for underwriting, spend intelligence and prediction, including models that monitor borrowers continuously for early signs of stress, and to expansion in the Middle East and with international clients. BKN301 acquired Planky in November 2025.
