The Singapore-headquartered fintech has raised new funds that will be used to accelerate its growth, as well as to invest in product development.

Tonik has raised $17 million in a pre-series B funding round, bringing its total fundraising to $44 million, the fintech announced on Tuesday.

The launch of its long-awaited deposit, payment, and card products to consumers in the Philippines in March 2021 received an «overwhelmingly postive» reception, Tonik said. Since then, the digital bank has accumulated 1 billion pesos ($20 million) in retail deposits.
