Sunbit, the preferred buy now, pay later (BNPL) technology for everyday needs and services, today announced a $#nbsp;130 million series D#nbsp;round of#nbsp;funding.

Other stakeholders include returning investor Zeev Ventures, and new investors Migdal Insurance, Harel Group, AltaIR Capital, and More Investment House. Guy Fischer, Chief Investment Officer for Migdal Insurance, joined the company’s board as#nbsp;an#nbsp;observer. The series D#nbsp;capital raise values Sunbit at $#nbsp;1.1 billion, making the company the latest to#nbsp;join the ranks of#nbsp;fintech unicorns.
"The continued support from existing investors as#nbsp;well as#nbsp;new commitments from esteemed investors such as#nbsp;Migdal Insurance and Harel Group underscores the impact we#nbsp;are making in#nbsp;the sizable markets we#nbsp;serve," said Arad Levertov, CEO and co-founder of#nbsp;Sunbit. "Our hyper-growth illustrates that there is#nbsp;a#nbsp;demand for our unique buy now, pay later solution built for everyday needs. The new capital will enable us#nbsp;to#nbsp;further disrupt the $#nbsp;216 billion auto service and repair industry and the combined $#nbsp;330 billion dental, eyewear, and elective healthcare industries -- markets that are stuck in#nbsp;the era of '80s-style financing."
