Basic Information

Founded in 2019 by Bhagaban Behera, Sriharsha Setty, and Nakul Kelkar, Walrus is a digital-only banking platform for Gen-Z. The platform claims to provide them a secure and gamified banking solution that helps them to manage their money smartly and inculcate good financial habits. Parents can transfer money to their kids instantly via UPI, who can then spend the money hassle-free. Users do not need to open a bank account to use Walrus. They would be able to install the app, load money, and pay any merchant via UPI QR code or using the debit card for ecommerce purchases. In July 2020, Walrus raised an undisclosed amount from a pre-seed funding round led by Better Capital. See more
