Our Story
Latitude has a long history of over 100 years dating back to the 1920s when Australian Guarantee
Corporation ('AGC'), one of Latitude's predecessor businesses, was founded to provide finance for
the purchase of household items. Latitude's history traces back to a range of acquisitions made by
GE in Australia and New Zealand, including Nissan Finance, AVCO Financial (including Hallmark
Insurance) and AGC.
In 2015, backed by Värde Partners, KKR and Deutsche Bank, we transitioned from GE into what we are
today — a leading consumer lender called Latitude.
In April 2021, Latitude listed on the Australian Stock Exchange. In late 2021, Latitude acquired
Symple Loans, a Melbourne-based personal lending fintech.
