The close of CrediLinq, the AI-powered embedded finance platform supported by 1982 Ventures, is the result of its US$ 8.5 million ( RM37 million ) Series A funding round. With the involvement of new investors Citi North America and the Rustem Family Office, OM/VC, MS&amp, AD Ventures, and OM/VC led the square. 1982 Ventures, 500 Global, Epic Angels, and Big Sky Capital are returners of buyers.

CrediLinq will use the money to promote regional growth, starting with the United States and moving on to the UK and Australia. The company wants to work with big digital platforms in each market to promote user growth and grant funding to online indigenous businesses. The company’s nearby operations in Singapore will also benefit from the funding, which will also include the hiring of older industrial, product, and technology professionals as well as the development of the company’s tech platform.

” Now marks a pivotal time for CrediLinq as we scale embedded financing globally, helping platforms enable digital-native SMEs with flexible, transparent, and smooth access to capital,” said Deep Singh, leader and team CEO of CrediLinq. With this funding, we’re eager to strengthen our partnerships, expand our reach, and invest in new markets to help our second growth phase.

Herston Powers, the founding partner of 1982 Ventures, continued,” This Series A, with help from international financial officials like Citi, is a testament to CrediLinq’s perspective and murder. We’re happy to support Deep, Vikram, and the group as they grow worldwide and help SMEs in the electronic economy.

To support progress in important markets, CrediLinq will strengthen its position of authority in sales, marketing, item, and technology. A significant portion of the investment will be used to develop its AI-powered record algorithms, which use platform and disorganized data, bureau information, and real-time online footprints to reduce non-performing loans, increase collections, and create more efficient agentic workflows.

The company’s embedded solutions are available for platforms such as payments, accounting, supply chain, e-commerce, freelancing, banking, and supply chain. CrediLinq is already integrated with major e-commerce platforms like Amazon, Lazada, and TikTok Shop.

The embedded credit revolution is roiling, and CrediLinq is leading the charge, according to Vikram Kotibhaskar, co-founder of CrediLinq. Our Credit-as-a-Service stack uses APIs, transactional data, and AI to provide users with quick, seamless credit decisions and embedded financing when they are in need.

This results in a frictionless customer experience and new platform-based revenue channels. Our agentic workflows keep costs down while maintaining constant monitoring and effectiveness. Platform partners gain credibility, stability, and scale, ultimately increasing the GMV.
