The startup currently has a registered customer base of over 40 million. Between October 2019 and February 2020, BankBazaar saw a 90% increase in monthly organic traffic and its registered customer base rose to over 40 million, the statement said, adding that the company saw a 53% increase in monthly revenue and a 15% reduction in costs during the same period. He confirmed that the company’s path to profitability will be extended due to covid-19. “BankBazaar is creating the ‘Credit Karma’ of India with leading-edge technology, a stellar team, and the support of an incredible set of strategic investors. We can’t wait to see how they help revolutionize the Indian financial services sector," added Andrew Kau, General Partner, WSV Capital.

The startup closely competes with other financial aggregators like Capital-backed Rubique and Tencent-backed PolicyBazaar owned PaisaBazaar, which is currently at $1.5 billion.
