Levertov built Sunbit into a unicorn-valued, tens-of-thousands-of-locations lending platform by targeting the service categories — auto repair, dental, veterinary — that retail-focused BNPL giants ignored, where financing determines whether necessary care happens at all.
Arad Levertov co-founded Sunbit, a merchant-embedded consumer lending platform serving tens of thousands of locations across auto service, dental, veterinary, and optical care.
The company reached unicorn valuation in its most recent funding round and uses machine learning for real-time underwriting, producing higher approval rates than traditional lenders. Levertov was a 2025 EY Entrepreneur of the Year National Financial Services and FinTech finalist.
