OneScore is a platform that helps customers in monitoring and managing their credit health by offering them free credit score checks and personalised insights.
Currently, 10 million customers use OneScore, which was FPL Technologies’ first offering.
Sinha founded FPL Technologies in 2019 with Rupesh Kumar, and Vibhav Hathi. Slice, Uni, LazyPay and Indiabulls Dhani are among its competitors.
Its focus is on customers with existing credit history.
At a time when BNPL and digital lending are gaining popularity, Sinha feels there is a market opportunity for credit cards as well because only 34 million Indians have credit cards.
“We believe that there are around 90 million people eligible for a credit card. There is a large market for all players,” Sinha was quoted by Moneycontrol as saying.
