FincFriends

FincFriends has raised INR 41.5 crore in debt funding during the first quarter of the fiscal year 2025-26. This latest fundraise follows its previous debt funding of INR 98.5 crore closed in the last quarter of FY25, reflecting strong investor confidence in the company’s growth strategy. The fresh capital will be used to expand FincFriends’ digital credit offerings, especially targeting underserved borrowers in Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets across India through its flagship platform, RupeeRedee.

The debt funding round saw participation from key existing investors like IBL Finance Limited, Moneywise Financial Services Private Limited, Usha Financial Services Limited, Shine Star Build Cap Pvt. Ltd., Realtouch Finance Private Limited, and UC Inclusive Credit Private Limited (UCIC). These marquee investors are backing the company’s mission to democratize credit access and foster financial inclusion.

Artem Andreev, CEO of FincFriends, stated that this funding milestone will accelerate the company’s efforts to provide responsible credit to underserved segments. As digital penetration and fintech adoption rise in India, FincFriends aims to leverage advanced technology and a strong lending partner network to address the credit needs of those typically excluded from formal financial systems.

Founded in 2017, FincFriends operates a fully digital lending infrastructure offering instant, short-term personal loans without collateral. Their platform, RupeeRedee, has been pivotal in advancing credit access, ensuring quick and hassle-free loan disbursal to financially underserved populations. The company’s growth plan focuses on technological innovation and expansion into emerging markets to reshape the digital lending landscape in India.
