Brighte is a digital payments platform for home energy improvements. It was launched in 2015 by Katherine McConnell, with the mission to help people create energy efficient homes. Brighte offers 0% interest payment plans that remove the upfront cost barrier of big ticket items like solar and batteries for homeowners. On the flipside, vendors receive the prompt lump sum payment they need as soon as they complete the job. Brighte is backed by Grok Investments, Airtree Ventures and Skip Capital as well as strategic supporters KPMG, Equifax, IBM and Stone and Chalk. Brighte is a leading Australian fintech company and has been widely recognised for its innovative, distruptive offering in the home improvements market.
