Fisdom has a B2C app and also an award-winning B2B2C distribution model where we have partnered with 15 of the largest banks in India such as Indian Bank and UCO Bank to provide wealth products to their customers. In our bank-led distribution model, our SDKs are integrated seamlessly into the bank’s mobile banking and internet banking application.
