Finfactor, the parent company of RBI-licensed account aggregator Finvu Account Aggregator, has raised $15 million in its Series A funding round led by WestBridge Capital. 

The round also saw participation from existing investors Varanium Capital, DMI Sparkle Fund and IIFL Fintech Fund. 

The funds will be used to build and scale products, enhance the company's analytics suite, and accelerate its plans to become a full stack technology provider for banks and BFSI clients.

Founded in 2019 by Manoj Alandkar and Munish Bhatia, Finvu is one of the early ones to receive the NBFC-AA licence from the Reserve Bank of India. 

Finvu's parent entity Finfactor provides financial institutions across lending, insurance and wealth management with advanced data analytics, data aggregation and AI-based tools. The company has now scaled upto catering over 150 BFSI clients such as HDFC Bank, Axis Bank, Motilal Oswal and CRED.

The Pune-based company had earlier secured $2.5 million in July 2022 from Varanium Nexgen Fund, IIFL and DMI Sparkle Fund.
