CANADA – Toronto-founded financial technology company Super.com has reached a valuation of about US$1.2 billion after raising US$65 million in a Series D financing round led by investment firm TPG, marking a new milestone for a Canadian-founded startup focused on consumer savings.

The funding round also included participation from new and existing investors, according to the company. Super.com said the capital will be used to expand its subscription-based savings platform and develop additional financial tools aimed at helping consumers reduce everyday expenses.

Founded in Toronto in 2016 as travel-booking startup SnapTravel, the company has shifted its business over the past several years toward a broader financial technology platform. Its flagship Super+ membership combines travel discounts with cashback offers, credit-building products, cash advances and other savings services for consumers.

Chief executive Hussein Fazal said the company is focused on serving households looking for ways to stretch their budgets rather than targeting premium financial products.

The company says its membership program is approaching one million subscribers and has helped customers save more than US$1 billion through discounts, rewards and other services, although those figures were provided by Super.com and could not be independently verified.

Super.com’s latest financing comes after the company reported becoming profitable in 2025 while generating more than US$200 million in net revenue, according to company statements. It said revenue increased by more than 50 per cent from the previous year.

The investment reflects continued interest in financial technology companies that offer budgeting and savings tools, particularly as consumers contend with higher living costs and demand for alternatives to traditional banking products.

The company positions its paid membership as a service designed to help lower- and middle-income households save money across multiple categories, differentiating itself from rewards programs that primarily benefit higher-spending consumers.

The financing also underscores investor confidence in profitable growth at a time when venture capital firms have become more selective following several years of slower funding activity across the technology sector. Rather than raising capital to address operating losses, Super.com said the new funding will support continued expansion of its products and customer base.

With the latest round, Super.com joins the ranks of Canadian-founded technology companies valued at more than US$1 billion, a benchmark commonly referred to in the venture capital industry as “unicorn” status.
