Los Angeles-based financial technology firm Bespoke Financial said it closed on a $125 million credit facility with institutional investors to increase its lending capacity.

“Institutional investors are chasing high yields and seeking to minimize volatility, especially through investments that are not subject to future COVID-related market disruptions.

“Cannabis debt financing checks all of these boxes.”
