“MyAssetPay fills a gap in the market by lending against non-traditional collateral and thereby giving asset holders the ability to unlock and leverage the equity in assets that have previously not had a suitable solution.
Owners of wine, bullion, art, collectibles, Bitcoin, and other assets that traditional lenders will not value will now have an alternative pathway to liquidity as well as the opportunity to leverage these assets.”
Fred Witherow, Co-Founder & Managing Director, MyAssetPay
Executive Summary
MyAssetPay is a low-risk and fully secured lender that does not need to do credit checks and does not report customers who default on loans. Instead, the company gains possession of secured, authenticated, and insured assets during the loan term and returns them to the owner upon repayment. In the event of a customer default, the company liquidates the assets.
MyAssetPay allows customers to receive cash against their previously dormant personal assets, or they can use the service to leverage their existing equity to make a purchase or meet a financial deadline. MyAssetPay also provides partner businesses with an alternative payment method for their customers which in turn increases sales and service revenue from their customers.
Investment Highlights
- Banks will not lend against certain personal assets; this has given MyAssetPay a unique competitive advantage in the lender market.
- MyAssetPay offers a unique personal asset lending product that addresses risks for lenders and borrowers; these include valuations, authentication, storage, security, no credit checks / no credit reporting, all in one easy-to-use platform.
- The company has already secured an initial round of financing for up to $10M.
- It requires a seed funding round to complete the go-to-market strategy and begin offering loans to customers.
- Strong market opportunity – personal lending in Australia is a $220 Billion p.a. industry.
- MyAssetPay has also formed strategic partnerships with storage facilities committed to providing customers to the company.
Investment Offering
MyAssetPay is raising $500,000 to expedite the company’s capability to offer loans to customers by August 2021.

The asset class where the market has no vote
Litigation funding returns are decided in a courtroom, not a cycle. Knightsbridge’s Head of Capital is careful to call that a different risk rather than a lower one, and his answer to it is spread, not concentration. Most alternative assets still answer to something. Property answers to rates. Private credit answers to defaults. Even the […]
The listing fee vendors pay whether the house sells or not
Australia’s property portals collect more than $2 billion a year while national listings sit flat. An Australian-built AI platform is targeting the economics, not just the interface. An Australian vendor listing a home pays a vendor-paid advertising fee on top of agency commission. Rama Dwarapudi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of RealSearch, puts a typical […]
Reinventing the Condom: How an Australian Deep-Tech Startup Plans to Disrupt a $12 Billion Market
For more than half a century, the global condom industry has remained fundamentally unchanged, constrained by standard materials like latex and solid synthetic polymers. Despite widespread consumer demand for better alternatives, product design has treated the device strictly as a mechanical barrier, sacrificing feel for function. Sydney-based Eudaemon Technologies is setting out to upend that […]
