Kredivo Holdings, the parent company of Kredivo and Krom Bank Indonesia formerly known as FinAccel, announced the close of its US$270 million Series D fundraise led by Japanese global bank Mizuho Bank.
The oversubscribed round was joined by Kredivo’s existing investors including Square Peg Capital, Jungle Ventures, Naver Financial Corporation, GMO Venture Partners and Openspace Ventures among others.
The funds will be used to expand Kredivo’s expanding offerings which include Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL), personal loans, credit cards (physical and virtual) as well as support the upcoming launch of its neobank Krom.
The firm has made several appointments in November last year to prepare for the neobank’s launch; Chao Gao as CTO, Jean Lua as Chief HR Officer, Matt Mullarkey as General Counsel and Wisaksana Djawi as Director of Krom Bank.
