Remittance firm Aspora garners $93m in funding
Cross border payments startup Aspora has raised $93m across three funding rounds, aimed at expanding its cross-border financial services.
The company, founded in 2022, is focused on building financial infrastructure tailored to the needs of global Indian communities.
Aspora is backed by venture firms including Sequoia Capital, Greylock Partners, Hummingbird Ventures, Soma Capital, Global Founders Capital, and Y Combinator.
The company also has the support of angel investors such as Quantum Light, Balaji Srinivasan (former CTO of Coinbase), Sundeep Jain (former CPO of Uber), Prasanna Sankar (Co-founder of Rippling), and Chad West (former CMO at Revolut).
Headquartered in London, with offices in Dubai and India, Aspora currently serves users across the UK, UAE, and the EU.
The company has reported processing over $2bn in remittance volume, a fivefold increase from $400m six months ago, the company said in a statement.
More than 250,000 non-resident Indians (NRIs) now use the platform, and Aspora estimates users have saved over $15m in fees compared to traditional remittance providers.
The company is set to launch its services in the US in July, with Canada, Australia, and Singapore expected to follow before the end of the year.
In addition to remittances, Aspora plans to develop a broader financial ecosystem that includes banking, investments, credit, and insurance products tailored to the needs of individuals with cross-border lives.
