Budd cofounded NOW Money with Ian Dillon, which uses mobile banking technology to create accounts and offer low-cost remittance facilities and other financial services for migrant workers. In March 2021, the startup secured $7 million in its latest round of funding, led by venture capital firm Anthemis Exponential Ventures, taking its total funding since inception to $11 million. The Fintech operates in the U.A.E. and Saudi Arabia, and it is eyeing expansion outside of the GCC region. Before establishing NOW Money, Budd worked as a data scientist in Nectar Card and Cardlytics.
