Seedbox lets users invest in funds online – digital sachet investing – and lowers the barrier of entry into investing at 50 pesos (US$0.97). The company is also responsible for digitalizing the personal equity retirement account (PERA), the country’s voluntary pension system that connects investors to administrators and product providers.
Founded in 2016 as a joint venture between Philippines-based ATRAM group and Indonesia-based software firm Indivara group, the startup said it has over 1 million users.
The new funding will be invested in scaling Seedbox’s operations with investments in upgrading its tech platform, enhancing its product suite and expanding its team.
