Earlier this week, buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) fintech startup Simpl raised $40 million in a Series B funding round led by Valar Ventures and IA Ventures, as well as existing investors.

The startup expects to use funds from the latest round to hire talent including engineers, as well as fuel the launch of its new products and features.

The new products and features include a fraud detection platform for merchants, and a loyalty programme that merchants can extend to their regular customers. Simpl is also launching a product called “Pay-in-3” for millennials that will allow them to split their bills over three equal payments every month.

Part of the funding will also be used to expand its business and onboard new merchants to its system.

Founded in 2016 by Nitya and Chaitra Chidanand, Simpl is essentially a ‘khata’ for online commerce. It enables users to buy small-ticket size items on loan, and pay back later when they’re able to.

Simpl works with over 7,000 companies including Zomato, 1MG, Jio, Makemytrip, Bigbasket, and Crocs, among others. It has enabled 49 million transactions so far via its website.
