MoneyView: Fastest-Growing Unicorn of India... Smarter loans. Simpler lives.

The Beginning

In 2014, Puneet Agarwal and Sanjay Aggarwal started Moneyview in Bengaluru with one clear goal—make money management simple for every Indian. They began with a basic Android app that helped users track expenses. What looked like a small idea soon became the start of a revolution in personal finance.


The Turning Point

As digital lending grew in India, Moneyview saw the opportunity early. They went beyond expense tracking and launched instant personal loans—all powered by AI and smart data analysis.


This move helped millions of users get credit easily, especially those who couldn’t get loans from traditional banks.



Funding to Unicorn

By 2024, Moneyview reached unicorn status (valued over $1 billion) after raising $4.6 million from Accel India and Nexus Ventures.

Earlier in 2022, they had already raised $75 million in Series E funding led by Apis Partners—showing how investors trusted their vision to make finance simpler, smarter, and accessible to all.



Growth Snapshot

  • FY24 Revenue: ₹1,012 crore (up 75% from the previous year!)

  • Profit: ₹171 crore—solid and sustainable

  • Expanded into digital banking, insurance, and wealth management


Moneyview wasn’t just lending money—it was building a complete digital finance ecosystem.



Smart Moves

In 2024, they acquired Jify.co, a platform offering “Earned Wage ”Access”—allowing employees to get part of their salary before payday. This helped Moneyview reach a new audience and promote financial inclusion.



The Bigger Picture

Moneyview became India’s 6th fintech unicorn in 2024. But beyond the title, their journey is about innovation, timing, and trust—spotting opportunities before the market fully realized them.


They’re now preparing for the next leap—tapping into the booming AI-driven lending market, expected to grow from $9.18B in 2024 to $58B by 2030.

If they stay on track, Moneyview’s revenue could hit ₹4,800 crore by 2030!

“Start small. Focus on real problems. Keep innovating.”

Moneyview didn’t chase hype—they solved a daily pain point for millions: managing and accessing money easily.By combining AI, user trust, and smart product expansion, they turned a finance app into a billion-dollar powerhouse.
