Fundiin announced the closing of an oversubscribed seed round from leading Japanese funds Genesia Ventures, and JAFCO Asia, along with former Affirm executives (Xffirmers), Trihill Capital, Mr. Pham Le Nhat Quang and existing investors 1982 Ventures and Zone Startups Ventures. The round was quickly oversubscribed and closed in three weeks.  

Nguyen Anh Cuong, CEO and Co-Founder of Fundiin, stated “Having the support of our new global investors will strengthen Fundiin’s market leading position, provide access to new capital pools and extensive BNPL expertise.”  He continued, “Lending products have earned a bad reputation as money-draining traps that leave consumers stuck in a cycle of debt. Vietnamese consumers are in urgent need of products like Fundiin that work for them and protect their interest.”

Fundiin was founded by fintech veterans Nguyen Anh Cuong (CEO) and Vo Hoang Nam (CTO), to provide consumer friendly payment options to Vietnam’s population of 97 million and rising middle class consumers. Fundiin launched its BNPL product in mid 2020 and works with over 100 merchants including some of the country’s largest retailers such as Lug, Vua Nem, Mat Viet, Giant International.

Scott Krivokopich, Managing Partner at 1982 Ventures and Fundiin Board Member said, “Fundiin is much faster, easier and free for consumers, making it fundamentally better than credit cards, instalment loans and mobile wallets’ lending products. Instead of charging consumers high interest rates and hidden fees, Fundiin provides a zero-cost payment option that supports Vietnamese retailers’ increased conversion, average order value and reach to new customers.”  1982 Ventures co-led Fundiin’s initial VC round with Zone Startups Vietnam announced in early 2021.

Fundiin’s latest funding round coincides with several key hires and surging demand from both consumers and merchants, including the recently announced partnership with Sapo’s 100,000 merchant.

Herston Powers, Managing Partner at 1982 Ventures, stated “Fundiin is the leader in BNPL in Vietnam and this fresh funding will further extend their lead in the market.  Vietnamese consumers and merchants have demonstrated that Fundiin’s consumer friendly payment option provides benefits to all parties.”
