ClearScore acquires Acre to expand mortgage technology platform

ClearScore has acquired Acre , expanding its push into mortgages and adding a dedicated technology platform for brokers and protection advisers.

The deal builds on ClearScore’s acquisition of Aro Finance in early 2025 and gives the group a direct mortgage capability alongside its unsecured credit and secured loans businesses. Acre’s platform will power ClearScore’s mortgage strategy, allowing demand from ClearScore’s 16 million UK users to be routed to Acre’s broker ecosystem while adding property, mortgage, and affordability data into ClearScore’s broader financial marketplace.

Acre will continue operating as a technology provider to mortgage and protection firms, with ClearScore planning to extend the mortgage platform beyond the UK into South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada over time.
