Kreditbee Gets RBI Nod, Prepares for IPO in 2026

Kreditbee, a Bengaluru-based fintech startup and one of India’s leading consumer lending platforms, has formally received approvals to transition into a public limited company, marking a significant milestone ahead of its anticipated initial public offering (IPO) in 2026.

According to regulatory filings, Kreditbee’s board passed a special resolution on June 27, 2025, to initiate this transformation. Shortly after, on July 5, 2025, the company secured approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to merge its technology subsidiary, Finnovation Tech Solutions, with its NBFC arm, Krazybee Services. This strategic consolidation is designed to streamline Kreditbee’s credit disbursal and technology operations under a single entity, strengthening operational efficiency and regulatory alignment.

Key Highlights

• Kreditbee approved to become a public limited company ahead of IPO
• RBI greenlights merger of its NBFC and tech arms to streamline operations
• IPO expected in 2026, expanding into both secured and unsecured credit

Founded in 2017, Kreditbee has emerged as one of India’s largest digital lending startups. It primarily provides unsecured personal loans but is now gradually expanding into secured credit products, broadening its addressable market. With over 10 million users, the company has established a strong foothold among young salaried professionals and gig economy workers.

The merger and structural transition are widely viewed as foundational steps for Kreditbee’s upcoming IPO, which is expected to gain momentum in 2026. These changes are also aimed at boosting governance standards and investor readiness.
