Delhi-based digital payments and financial services startup instantPay has secured between US$3 and US$5 million in pre-Series A round of funding, according to a report by The Economic Times.

The investment came from Singapore-based VC firms RB Investments and Kaleden Holdings.

The startup will use the capital for product development, geographical expansion, brand building and marketing.

“While we build this massive network, we are also enabling other products and services to be delivered via this distribution directly and efficiently,” said Sankalp Shangari, Co-founder of instantPay.
