Google-backed neobank, Open has acquired consumer neo-banking startup Finin for $10 million to broaden its offerings and create deep relationships with banks.
Launched in 2019, the Bangalore based company Finin is among the first consumer-focused neobanking startups in India. The startup, which had raised about $1 million from Unicorn India Ventures and others, will see key executives including the founder and chief executive Suman Gandham move to Open.
Anish Achuthan, co-founder and chief executive of Open, told TechCrunch in an interview that the acquisition of Finin compliments Open’s broader offerings.
Finin offers a savings account that allows consumers to save and invest their money.
“Finin complements our offerings to banks. We will now help banks launch their own consumer-focused neobanking offerings under their own brand names,” he said. “There are many banks that are looking to launch their own modern platforms.” Source: Techcrunch.
