The company, which operates as Modalku in Indonesia, will use the capital to support its financing solutions in Southeast Asia. Besides Singapore and Indonesia, it also has a presence in Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam.
This follows Funding Societies’ debt round in September, where it raised US$27 million.
