Southeast Asian fintech, Kredivo has raised nearly $270m in equity funding in a Series D funding round led by Mizuho Bank, a unit of the Japanese Mizuho Financial Group.
Existing investors such as Square Peg Capital, Jungle Ventures, Naver Financial Corporation, GMO Venture Partners and Openspace Ventures also participated in the round.

The proceeds will also be used to support the upcoming launch of its neobank Krom.
Mizuho group executive officer deputy head of retail & business banking company Daisuke Horiuchi said: “Kredivo has a stellar track record in Southeast Asia, leveraging on its deep data partnerships to promote financial inclusion within Indonesia and Southeast Asia while maintaining bank-like risk metrics and building a capital efficient business model.
