The story

Ferguson Home is the consumer-facing e-commerce and showroom brand of Ferguson Enterprises Inc., the largest US plumbing and HVAC distributor (NYSE: FERG, ~$30.8B revenue). The online channel was built on the 2007 acquisition of Build.com, which was subsequently rebranded 'Build with Ferguson' and then fully unified with the showroom gallery network into 'Ferguson Home' around 2024. The embedded finance stack reflects a large omnichannel retailer layering BNPL, promotional financing, and fraud protection onto a traditional distribution business—not a native fintech.
