The FY24 appears to be a phase of transition for Niyo with focus on travel-tech space. Recently, Niyo raised strategic funds from Spring Marketing Capital which will contribute to Niyo in the travel banking sector by helping with the overall brand strategy, partnerships, and campaigns.
Currently, its global banking flagship product Niyo Global provides banking for international travellers. The firm offers these services in partnership with DCB Bank, Equitas Small Finance Bank, and State Bank of Mauritius. However, the revenue booked in FY23 includes neobanking services only.
