CredAble, a supply chain financing platform, has raised $9 million led by private sector lender Axis Bank. The funding round also saw participation from existing investor Oaks Asset Management in the equity funding round.

As part of this deal, which is expected to be completed by September 30, Axis Bank will acquire a little over 5% of the fintech startup.

The startup plans to use the fresh funds to accelerate its growth plans. CredAble further plans to utilise the funding in growing its banking-as-a-service solutions in international markets and expand its footprint in the domestic market via its platform UpScale.
