Application programming interface (API) infrastructure platform M2P Fintech (formerly Yap) is in the final stage to raise a new round from new and existing investors, three sources aware of the details told Entrackr. The new round will come for the Bengaluru-based company after two and a half years. It raised $56 million in an equity round led by Insight Partners at a valuation of $650 million (post-money). “M2P is closing a $80 million new round of funding led by a new investor. Existing investors including Insight Partners are likely to join the round,” said one of the sources requesting anonymity. Sources assert that funding will be used to beef up tech infrastructure and accelerate growth pedal in India and overseas markets among others. For the uninitiated, M2P Fintech’s API enables businesses to offer their own branded financial services through partnerships with fintech companies while ensuring regulatory compliance. Apart from India, it operates in Nepal, UAE, Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Bahrain and Egypt among several other countries. “M2P will be valued at around $880 to $900 million (post-money) in the new round,” said another source requesting anonymity. “The company has already received the term sheet and the deal is set to be public soon.” Queries sent to M2P Fintech and Insight Partners did not elicit an immediate response. To strengthen its offerings, the Tiger Global-backed firm has acquired six companies to date including Goals101, Syntizen and BSG ITSOFT. According to startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, M2P has raised Rs 864 crore till date. Beenext is the largest stakeholder in the company with over 13% holding. Its co-founders Madhusudhan R, Muthukumar A and Prabhu R collectively own 34% of the firm. M2P is yet to disclose its FY24 numbers but its operating revenue surged 2.26X to Rs 440.7 crore in FY23 from Rs 194.74 crore in FY22. The growth triggered the firm’s losses by 3.35X to Rs 134.26 crore in FY23. M2P Fintech is a leader in the API infrastructure business which counts Setu, Signzy and Decentro as other key players.
