About

Bumper is a British fintech company founded in Sheffield in 2013 that operates a digital payment platform for automotive repair and maintenance. The platform allows drivers to spread the cost of car repairs, servicing, and bodywork into interest-free monthly instalments, while enabling dealerships, garages, and body shops to offer structured payment plans at the point of service.

The company partners with over 5,000 dealerships and garages across the UK and Europe, including brands such as BMW, Audi, Mercedes, and Land Rover. To date, Bumper has processed over £211 million in repair transactions and is targeting more than £1 billion in gross merchandise value. In 2025, the company completed an £8 million Series B extension to support continued expansion.

Bumper operates across six offices - Sheffield, London, Ankara, Barcelona, Dublin, and Munich - reflecting its growth into European markets. Its technical work spans digital payments, buy-now-pay-later infrastructure, SaaS platform development, and payments analytics.
