Bumper

Bumper is a digital payment platform that lets drivers spread the cost of car repairs, servicing and maintenance into interest-free monthly instalments. Founded in 2013, the company operates at the intersection of fintech and automotive, combining payments infrastructure with data insights to serve the vehicle-maintenance market. Its platform has processed over £211 million in repairs and is on track to exceed £1 billion in gross merchandise value.

The business is delivered through a network of more than 5,000 dealerships, garages and body shops across the UK and Europe, making it a business-to-business-to-consumer proposition with the accompanying demands on integration, underwriting and risk systems. Technical work spans fintech, digital payments, automotive payment processing and data insights. In 2025 Bumper raised an £8 million Series B extension.

Bumper operates from offices in Sheffield and London, with further locations in Ankara, Barcelona, Dublin and Munich, giving it a multi-office engineering and commercial footprint across Europe and Turkey. The company describes its mission as making motoring costs affordable for drivers.
