## About

Founded in 2015 and based in Sydney, Brighte Capital Pty Limited operates an online credit and payments platform. The company was founded by its CEO Katherine McConnell. In November 2025, Brighte Capital Pty Limited raised approximately USD 40 million in venture funding from the Clean Energy Finance Corporation.

Brighte Capital through its online platform allows homeowners, vendors, and enterprises to purchase or sell home improvement products through payment plans. The firm also allows vendors/clients to decide the offered payment terms which start from zero-interest payments to 5.89% interest per annum. As of 2021, the company has around 1,900 vendors in its platform for installing solar panels, batteries, air conditioning, plumbing, home improvements, and lighting equipment on its platform.

The company will use the November 2025 funding to launch discounted green loans for household energy upgrades such as solar panels, batteries, heating and cooling systems, and EV chargers.
