Fintech startup C88 bags US$28m from Series C funding

It operates financial marketplaces in Indonesia and the Philippines.

Information services firm Experian led an over-subscribed US$28m Series C investment in Singapore-based C88 Financial Technologies Group (C88), which operates financial marketplaces CekAja.com in Indonesia and eCompareMo.com in the Philippines.

According to an announcement, investors in the Series C round, amongst others, include responsAbility Investments AG, DEG, InterVest, FengHe Fund Management, Pelago Capital and Fuchsia Venture Capital as well as existing investors Monk’s Hill Ventures, Telstra Ventures, Kickstart Ventures, and Kejora Ventures.

As licensed financial marketplaces for consumers and small and medium businesses, CekAja.com and eCompareMo.com have served over 50 million consumers since 2013.

Experian’s strategic investment and partnership provide C88’s brands with the ability to deploy Experian’s demand generation, analytics and digital on-boarding technologies directly via CekAja.com and eCompareMo.com platforms.

C88 is eyeing the opening of a third marketplace in Thailand.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
