It aims to integrate with 25 + banks and RBI-regulated institutes by the end of 2024.

Saurabh Jain and Harish Reddy, Co-founders of Stable Money, said, “We aim to revolutionize India's preferred asset class by reinventing Fixed Deposits. While equities and mutual funds are readily available on various platforms, we recognize the lack of opportunities for Fixed return products. Fixed Deposits have long been the top choice due to their safety from market volatility, simplicity, and rising interest rates. At Stable Money, our mission is to provide a secure portfolio that acts as a financial safety net during challenging times for Indian investors, offering safe investment options. Our journey begins with Fixed Deposits, where we bring the advantage of the current five-year high interest rates”.

Vikram Vaidyanathan, Managing Director, Matrix Partners India, said- “Wealth tech is now a “pull” category for Indians with Indians trusting online platforms with their hard earned savings. As the Indian GDP explodes and the middle-income segment prospers, there is a need for tech-first wealth platforms but many will start with products that are familiar to them. Stable Money is enabling these retail investors to access a range of wealth products starting with stable fixed-income products like FDs ensuring a seamless experience. We believe we are at an inflexion point in India's wealth story and are excited to partner with Harish, Saurabh, the Stable Money team, as they build a truly world-class fintech organization!”

Shuvi Shrivastava, Partner, Lightspeed, said, “We are excited to partner with the mission driven Stable Money team as they work to pave the way for a more responsible and secure financial future for millions of Indian households. The experience of the founding team, and their drive for innovation and impact in a segment largely dominated by short-term trends, is energizing. Stable Money's approach will redefine the way people manage their hard earned money and grow their investments with trust, transparency and technology.”
