Northern Arc Capital, a leading Indian financial services firm, has successfully raised $75 million in debt funding from the Dutch development bank FMO. This strategic infusion of capital aims to bolster Northern Arc's mission of enhancing financial inclusion and providing access to credit for underserved segments across India.

The $75 million debt will enable Northern Arc to expand its lending portfolio, offering critical financial services to micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) as well as individual borrowers who lack access to traditional banking channels. This funding aligns with Northern Arc's commitment to bridging the financial gap and supporting the economic growth of marginalised communities.

FMO's investment in Northern Arc underscores the Dutch lender's confidence in the Indian firm's robust business model and its potential to drive significant social impact. The funding will be instrumental in scaling Northern Arc's operations, improving credit penetration, and fostering sustainable development in India's financial ecosystem.

Northern Arc Capital has been at the forefront of innovating financial solutions tailored to meet the unique needs of underserved markets. The infusion of funds from FMO will further enhance the firm's ability to leverage technology and data analytics to deliver efficient and inclusive financial services.

As Northern Arc continues to expand its reach and impact, the partnership with FMO represents a significant milestone in its journey towards financial empowerment and inclusion. This collaboration is expected to catalyse further investments and partnerships, reinforcing the firm's role as a key player in India's financial inclusion landscape.
