hoolah secures eight-figure series A funding from VC firm Allectus

The proceeds will be used to double down on their entry in Malaysia.

Buy-now-pay-later platform hoolah bagged an eight-figure investment led by venture capital firm Allectus in a series A funding round.

The proceeds will be used to double down on their Malaysia debut and fuel further expansion. Joining the round are Singapore-based iGlobe Ventures, who participated in hoolah’s seed round; Genting Ventures; Max Bittner, the former group CEO of Lazada; and Tim Neville, who is the CEO of fintech firm FNZ.

Founded in 2018, hoolah offers an omnichannel solution for online shopping. It allows customers to pay in three monthly installments without any interest or hidden fees. The startup has partnered with Sennheiser, HipVan and Skin Inc.

As over 90% of retail still occurs in a physical store, the core investment focus is to enable the team to build an omnichannel solution that enables customers to shop online and in-store.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
