UK lending round adds to country's debt-heavy 30-day total

iwoca secured a €185M debt round on 19 October 2026, one of three debt-financing deals recorded for the UK in the 30 days to 27 October 2026. Those three debt deals total €3.18B, equivalent to 67% of the UK's overall 30-day volume of €4.74B across 68 deals, underlining how much of the country's recorded total reflects lending rather than equity investment. The bulk of that debt figure traces to a single €2.95B debt round for Nscale on 28 September 2026, with the iwoca round itself accounting for a smaller 3.9% share of the UK total.

The UK's €4.74B across 68 deals in the window is the largest country total recorded, ahead of Sweden's €836M across 15 deals. Within sectors, Fintech recorded €1.05B across 28 deals in the same window, placing it behind Cloud and Healthtech by volume. iwoca's round itself ranks seventh among the ten biggest deals recorded in the 30-day window, trailing larger debt and equity rounds including Nscale, ID Finance and Legora.
