Cloudbankin | Digitalising Financial Institutions

Founded by Mani Parthasarathy, Maieenah Rajah and Alex Anto Navis, Cloudbankin is an end-to-end digital lending platform that automates and manages the complete loan lifecycle from loan origination to disbursement, from management to closure for financial institutions.

Its key offerings include a low-code digital onboarding, a loan origination and management system, and a business rule engine.

Speaking about the development, Mani Parthasarathy, Co-founder and CEO of Cloudbankin, said,

“Current lending landscape for borrower onboarding is very heterogeneous and requires customisation for different workflows/API integrations, which forces to implement multiple product solutions for a Financial Institution, causing more complexity. With this funding, we will enhance our AI-based low-code platform to enable customisable workflow and pluggable integrations for different financial products such as Business loans, Loan Against Property, Housing Loans, Gold loans, Buy Now Pay Later and Personal loans and launch it in 3 weeks.”

Cloudbankin provides seamless and scalable integration, automates the process and furnishes configurable workflow management.

The Chennai-based SaaS startup claims to have built a customer base of more than 50 financial institutions from multiple countries, with India being the primary market. It has achieved a 60% annual growth rate.

Cloudbankin also claims that financial institutions, utilizing its product, have achieved loan disbursements in under 10 minutes for unsecured loans.

Commenting on the development, Prasanna, Managing partner at Upekkha, said,

“At Upekkha, we’re excited to invest in Cloudbankin, a pioneering Fintech SaaS startup. It’s been impressive watching Cloudbankin revolutionize the lending space. As the India’s Fintech revolution picks up pace, Cloudbankin will help many BFSI companies go fully digital. Today’s customers are demanding, and companies which implement Cloudbankin will have a competitive advantage.”
