According to Tech Crunch, the funding comes from Dutch venture capital company Walvis Participaties and life insurance and asset management provider Aegon N.V. This brings GoBear’s total funding so far to USD 97 million and will be used to expand its consumer financial services platform, which is currently available in Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
