Zinc secures $5 million seed round to build fintech infrastructure layer
Zinc raised $5 million seed funding to build fintech infrastructure for digital lending and embedded finance across Asia.
Fintech startup Zinc closed a $5 million seed funding round led by HiveMine Capital, targeting the development of a modular infrastructure layer for digital lending and embedded finance. The capital will support pilot programmes with banks and neo-lenders, enhance risk-scoring models and accelerate go-to-market efforts across Southeast Asia. Zinc's platform aims to enable rapid credit-stack deployment for partners without substantial in-house build-out.
The round highlights growing investment focus on fintech infrastructure rather than consumer-facing applications alone.
