GIMO Raises $1.9M for On Demand Pay

GIMO, Vietnam’s fintech startup offering on-demand pay for blue-collar workers, announced on Tuesday that it had successfully raised $1.9 million in a Seed+ round led by Singapore’s Integra Partners. The round also saw participation from Resolution Ventures, Blauwpark Partners, and TNB Aura VN Scout.

GIMO’s Co-founder and CEO Nguyen Anh Quan said: ““Blue-collar workers are among the most vulnerable to financial distress. When unexpected bills arise, they don’t have a lot of safe and affordable options. GIMO looks to change that. By helping workers get paid as they earn it, we hope to give them the peace of mind to focus on what matters.”

GIMO allows employees to access their earned salary almost instantly via a mobile app integrated with the company’s payroll system. Users could also keep track of their workdays and daily earnings in real-time, as well as receive personal finance tips. 

With the fresh funding, the company plans to allocate more resources for hiring senior engineers, strengthening risk management competencies, and integrating advanced technologies such as data analytics and artificial intelligence to enhance customer experiences.
