Banking & finance: Vietnam payday lender raises US$30 million from UK’s Lendable

Vietnam payday lender, F88, has secured a US$30 million, three-year loan from UK-based Lendable. This brings its total funding for F88 to nearly US$70 million, The Investor has reported.

Key points in the article include:

  • F88 aims to increase revenue and customer base by 30 percent over five years.
  • The capital will support expansion efforts as the company prepares for registration on Vietnam’s UPCoM trading platform.
  • F88 now operates 888 retail outlets, with added reach via partnerships with Military Bank (MB) and a logistics firm with 10,000+ transaction points.
  • FiinRatings upgraded F88’s credit outlook to “Positive” in April, citing improved capital access and asset quality.

F88’s successful US$30 million raise from Lendable signals that Vietnam’s consumer finance space is both investable and expected to scale fast, at least from the perspective of the UK firm.
