Indian based Banking Infrastructure company M2P Fintech announced the first close of its Series D financing, raising $100 million through a mix of primary and secondary share capital. The financing was led by Helios Investment Partners and places the company’s valuation at over $785 million.
The funds will be utilized to cement M2P’s market leadership in India, besides helping grow its international franchise, particularly in Middle East and Africa.
The round also saw participation from marquee Banks across Asia, with existing Investor Flourish Ventures doubling down on the company.
Global Expansion with MENA Focus
Over the past few years, M2P has strategically expanded its global footprint, with a strong emphasis on emerging markets. Africa now stands as the company’s next major growth frontier, presenting vast potential due to the continent’s rapidly evolving financial ecosystem. With rising smartphone adoption and the increasing prominence of mobile-led financial services delivery, M2P is well-positioned to capitalize on this opportunity.
By leveraging its robust banking infrastructure, the company aims to deliver seamless “Bank in a Box” solutions alongside digital payments, credit card issuance, and a suite of financial services customized to meet the unique demands of local markets.
The company is also eyeing strategic expansions into select countries in the ASEAN region, besides enhancing its strong presence in the Middle East region, thereby aligning with its vision to build a truly global banking technology infrastructure business.

“As the world’s largest Banking-as-a-Service provider, this capital infusion will not only reinforce our leadership in India—where we’ve established a robust, comprehensive ecosystem—but also accelerate our ambitious global expansion efforts.

We’re thrilled to partner with Helios, whose deep understanding of the African market, coupled with our powerful platform capabilities, will position us well to deliver on our mission of fostering financial inclusion and innovation.”
