Fintech startup Call Levels gets funding from Lippo

  • Investment marks first foray into the fintech space for Lippo Group
  • User growth surged 400% in past 3mths, Singapore startup claims

SINGAPOREAN-based Call Levels announced it has raised an undisclosed amount of funding from Indonesian conglomerate Lippo Group, which it described as a pre-Series A round.
 
This comes in the wake of the US$500,000 pre-Series A funding it landed last November, in a round led by Silicon Valley’s 500 Startups.
 
This investment marks the Lippo Group’s first foray into the financial services technology (fintech) space, joining other Call Levels investors such as angels Timothy Teo and Koh Boon Hwee.
 
The Indonesian giant has been making many investments in the digital space in recent years, even launching an e-commerce site MatahariMall.com, which it ambitiously declared would become the ‘Alibaba of Indonesia.’
 
Last October, it merged the assets of its Lippo Digital Ventures (LDV) venture arm with Jakarta-headquartered Venturra Capital to form the US$150-million Venturra Capital Fund I.
 
Call Levels says it bring stock portfolio management and monitoring to the masses, acting as a fund or a wealth manager and Bloomberg terminal.
 
Its app allows users to set the target price they want to be notified of, and when that target price has been reached, the app will inform the user who can then take action.
 
In an official statement, it claimed it has recorded 400% user growth in the past three months, with 11 new alerts set every minute.

These plans include “connecting users with global financial markets and empowering them in the face of volatile market movements by delivering reliable, immediate price alerts,” she told Digital News Asia (DNA) via email.
 
The funds will also be used to accelerate rollout to other financial markets, according to Siantar (pic).
 
“Presently, the Call Levels app covers over 10,000+ assets,” she said.
 
“With these new funds, we hope to expand our asset coverage to other financial markets, to support our users within the Asean region and beyond,” she added.
 
DNA has reached out to the Lippo Group for information, and will update this story if we receive any response.
