Exclusive interview in Longtunman: How SCB Abacus' MoneyThunder app creates more widespread opportunity to Thai people

Our portfolio, SCB Abacus' Founding CEO, Dr. Sutapa Amornvivat, PhD, was recently interviewed on Longtunman. Most notably, she shared:

(1) her belief in developing their own tech and credit model in house, to create the best solutions for Thailand by Thai people

(2) the social impact SCB Abacus has been driving and will continue to monitor closely, such as

• 40% of their borrowers previously borrowed from loan sharks. Now, they no longer need to resort to borrowing illegally and paying exorbitant loan rates.
• Two-third of their borrowers being women, which is above market average
• 16% of their portfolio supporting new graduates and first jobbers, also above market average.

Vertex Ventures Southeast Asia and India is honoured to partner SCB Abacus on their journey and we are inspired by the impact that their team is driving.
