“Our entry into Australia marks an important step in FinVolution’s international expansion. We look forward to bringing our responsible, technology-driven financial services to users in Australia.”
The Fundo acquisition allows FinVolution to apply its expertise in data-driven risk pricing and operational efficiency to the Australian market, supporting financial accessibility while adhering to local regulatory requirements.
