CLAIMCLOUD NEWS

SYDNEY, 17 September, 2026

ClaimCloud today announced Macquarie Group’s Commodities and Global Markets Group (Macquarie) as an equity investor. As an Australian-based distressed credit investing company, ClaimCloud gives creditors the option of selling their claim in an insolvency matter, providing greater choice in how insolvency exposures can be managed.

ClaimCloud’s offering means that rather than waiting for an uncertain payment at the end of a lengthy corporate insolvency, creditors can choose a certain upfront payment and forego the insolvency process altogether.

Mitch Taylor, founder of ClaimCloud said insolvency situations are difficult for all participants, and particularly so for creditors.

“Even where creditors are likely to see some financial return for their claim, the opportunity cost, distraction, and uncertainty can be significant. Our business model broadens the choices for sophisticated creditors who may not have the capacity or desire to navigate a lengthy insolvency process over which they have little control.”

“Macquarie’s investment recognises ClaimCloud’s unique offering in this market, as well as its risk assessment expertise.  These types of offerings are widely available internationally and this investment will allow ClaimCloud to scale its activities in Australia, where insolvency rates have risen over the past five years,” Mr Taylor said.

Nasr Jeries, Division Director at Macquarie, said: “We recognise ClaimCloud’s capability, as well as market demand for a genuine choice for creditors.  Macquarie is pleased to play a role in the expansion of ClaimCloud’s offering with this strategic equity investment.”

It is well understood that complex insolvencies in Australia can take years to conclude.  Over the last two years there have been approximately 950 new corporate administrations each year with an expected duration exceeding 12 months[1].  In its activity to date, ClaimCloud has provided liquidity to creditors that had been involved in counterparty insolvency proceedings, on average, for 41 months[2].

University of Sydney Professor of Corporate Law Jason Harris said, “In an insolvency, unsecured creditors are looking for certainty on getting paid at least some of their money back. Unfortunately, insolvency law is so complex that the process drags on, often for years, with no certainty of payment. ClaimCloud offers creditors the certainty of payment in a fixed time that allows them to get on with running their business instead of waiting on an insolvency payment that might never eventuate.”

ClaimCloud considers creditor claims of all classes, including unsecured, secured, and priority, and is proud to provide a source of liquidity to creditors that has generally been unavailable in Australia.

ClaimCloud also has the flexibility to buy claims or other assets directly from liquidators.
