The ClearScore Group, today announced the acquisition of Acre Platforms Ltd, a leading technology solutions provider to the mortgage industry. The acquisition accelerates ClearScore’s entry into the mortgage industry, adding to its leading position in unsecured credit broking. It follows the Group’s successful acquisition of Aro Finance in early 2025, which expanded its capabilities in secured loans.

Under new ownership, Acre will continue to provide cutting-edge technology solutions for mortgage and protection businesses, and together with ClearScore, deliver the best home-buying experience in the market for consumers, meeting the demand of ClearScore’s 16 million user base in the UK.

As a data-driven technology platform, the ClearScore Group is a natural home for Acre. The business will power ClearScore’s overall mortgage capability and strategy. This means that ClearScore can now route demand for mortgages from its users to Acre’s broker ecosystem via the platform. Acre will provide the Group with additional property, mortgage, and affordability data, enriching insights for home owners and home buyers on ClearScore's platform.

Justin Basini, Co-founder and CEO of the ClearScore Group, said:

“Acre is a great addition to the ClearScore Group, and we will support the business on its exciting growth trajectory. ClearScore brings the brand, the reach, the user-permissioned data at scale and one of the most advanced, reliable and unique fintech stacks in the industry. Combine that with Acre’s leading CRM platform for intermediaries, and you have an exciting set of technology platforms, data assets and APIs spanning unsecured credit, auto finance and now mortgages.

“This perfectly complements our successful push into the secured loans market, building on the significant growth we have seen in our home lending business in 2025. The acquisition allows us to accelerate our mortgage strategy with Acre now powering our home lending business and helping us deliver compelling experiences for our users.”
