Acceso a financiamiento

Watercress Financial y 26North firman acuerdo de $550 millones

Watercress Financial has secured a $550 million agreement with 26North to support home improvement loan funding across its contractor network.
Watercress Financial and 26North.
May 1, 2026

Watercress Financial firmó un acuerdo de $550 millones con la firma de inversión 26North Partners LP para ampliar las opciones de financiamiento disponibles para propietarios de vivienda en Estados Unidos. 

El acuerdo permitirá a 26North comprar préstamos generados a través de la red nacional de contratistas de Watercress.

En términos prácticos, esto significa que más personas podrán financiar proyectos de mejoras para su casa, en lugar de posponerlos por no contar con el dinero necesario para pagarlos completamente en efectivo. 

Para los contratistas, el beneficio es claro: podrán ofrecer más opciones de pago a sus clientes, lo que puede traducirse en más proyectos y mayores ingresos. 

"El acceso a este nivel de capital es un paso importante para nuestro crecimiento y nos permite apoyar mejor tanto a cotnratistas como a propietarios", dijo Robert Young, presidente y director de crédito de Watercress Financial. 

Fundada en 2022, 26North gestiona más de $35 mil millones de activos en áreas como crédito privado, capital privado y seguros. La operación se estructuró como un acuerdo de crédito institucional, aunque no se dieron a conocer detalles sobre tasas o condiciones. 

Watercress Financial ofrece financiamiento para proyectos de mejoras del hogar a través de contratistas de todo Estados Unidos.
