Fintech start-up Open has raised Rs 210 crore ($30 million) in a Series B round led by Tiger Global Management and saw participation from Tanglin Venture Partners Advisors.

Anish Achuthan, CEO, Open said, “This funding will help us accelerate our target of simplifying business banking for more than 1 million businesses at a greater pace and also launching new products like the Open+ card and Layer that will enhance our value proposition for small businesses”.
Founded in 2017, Open is solving business banking challenges faced by SMEs and start-ups. Open offers a business account in partnership with banks which helps businesses automate and run their finances effectively. This business account has all the tools that helps businesses send and receive payments combined with the automated bookkeeping tool to integrate banking into their business workflows. The Open platform today has already grown to over 1 lakh SMEs and processing over Rs 35,000 crore in transaction. The platform also adds over 20000 SMEs every month, making it the fastest growing SME focused neo-banking service globally.
The new business banking product from the Open stable and the Open+ business credit card will be offered to help start-ups who are currently being ignored by traditional credit companies. The card comes with an integrated end-to-end expense management platform that enables businesses to issue physical or virtual cards to their employees with custom spend limits and seamless expense filing.
Open is also enhancing its API banking suite with the introduction of Layer – a programmable bank account that will enable developers to control money programmatically, build their own features on top of the bank account and securely integrate with other services.
