About Stable Money

Stable Money is India's leading fixed-income investment platform, on a mission to modernize how 230+ million Indians save and invest. Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Bengaluru, we've grown to over 30 lakh users who have collectively invested more than ₹5,000 crore across fixed deposits and other secure instruments, all in under three years.

Backed by $65 million in total institutional funding from marquee investors including Peak XV Partners, Z47, RTP Global, Fundamentum, and Lightspeed, we recently closed a $25 million Pre-Series C round to accelerate our next phase of growth. We're building the operating layer for how India saves — making fixed-income products transparent, accessible, and worthy of trust.

Our platform lets users book FDs without opening a savings account, access instant withdrawals, invest in short-term instruments (including 7-day FDs), and discover curated fixed-income portfolios through a digital experience designed around speed and clarity. We are deepening direct partnerships with banks and NBFCs, building on-ground presence in key cities, and expanding into adjacent savings products — all while maintaining the trust-first approach that has defined us since day one.
