Capital First (CFL) is planning to raise Rs 350 crore from International Finance Corporation (IFC) through subscription to the company's secured non-convertible debentures (NCD).
The funds will finance company’s growth strategy in the unbanked segments of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) and individuals (both self-employed and salaried) that lack adequate access to financial services and it will also help the company to diversify its funding and reduce reliance on bank borrowings.
