Singapore-based fintech startup CredoLab helps unbanked customers to manage their credit

Singapore-based fintech startup CredoLab today announced that it has raised a US$1 million funding from global venture capital firm Walden International.

The funding round followed another US$1 million investment the startup has raised in June 2017 led by fintech VC firm Fintonia Group.

CredoLab builds a credit assessment mobile app called the CredoApp, which tracks consumers’ “anonymised digital footprints” and implements predictive analytics to generate their digital credit score cards.

The service targets unbanked customers with low-cost smartphone ownership at emerging markets, with the goal to improve their delinquency rates and a higher percentage of consumer loans approved.

“I am extremely pleased to count a firm with the technical expertise and global reach of Walden International among our investors. Our next stage of growth will focus on expanding globally and actively seeking partnerships with alternative data
providers to generate high quality leads for banks and consumer finance companies,” said CredoLab Co-Founder and CEO Peter Barcak.
