Earlier this week, True Balance — an RBI-authorised fintech app — raised $10 million in debt funding from a group of investors. Headquartered in Seoul and Gurugram, it is operated by Balancehero India — the wholly-owned subsidiary of Balancehero Korea.

Northern Arc, along with investors from India and Korea, have invested in the fintech startup’s lending arm — True Credits — to support the NBFC’s growth in India, and the launch of newer loan products.

According to a statement, True Balance has disbursed loans of over $30 million this financial year alone to India’s underbanked, uncredited, un-accessed, and financially excluded, through its licensed NBFC subsidiary, True Credits Pvt Ltd.

True Balance has expanded its portfolio to bring full-stack financial services to the low-income citizenry by ‘making finance available for all.’

True Balance’s loan book claims to have grown over manifolds since April 2020, especially across two key products — cash loans and level-up loans. With these key products, the startup will be catering to customers within the income bracket of Rs 10,000-45,000.

These customers can avail loans from Rs 5,000 to 50,000 from the fintech app, it stated. It uses its internal alternative credit scoring system (ACS) and machine learning-based underwriting models to support and fund new-to-credit (NTC) and low-credit users.
