Fisdom has a suite of products and services that takes care of every wealth requirement that an individual would have. This includes Mutual Funds, Stock Broking, Private Wealth, Tax Filing, and Pension funds

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.

The company is breaking down barriers by enabling access to wealth management to underserved customers. All our partners combined have a combined user base of more than 50 crore customers. This makes us uniquely placed to disrupt the wealthtech space which we believe is in its infancy in India in terms of wider adoption.
