– INDIA, Bangalore – ZetsMoney, the Bengaluru-based digital lending platform, has raised $13.4m financing in an extension of its Series-A round led by Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi, joined by existing investors PayU, Ribbit Capital and Omidyar Network.

ZestMoney will strengthen its technology and data science capabilities as well as expand use cases for the core ZestMoney Affordability Product.
