slice

Slice, now operating as Slice Small Finance Bank, is a pioneering Indian fintech company that has successfully transitioned from a credit-focused startup into a regulated, full-stack banking institution. Founded in 2016, the company initially gained prominence as 'SlicePay,' providing innovative credit solutions and 'buy now, pay later' services tailored to India's youth. Through a landmark merger with the North East Small Finance Bank in 2024, Slice became the first Indian fintech to integrate directly with a traditional banking entity, allowing it to offer a comprehensive suite of financial services including savings accounts, fixed deposits, and UPI-based payments. Headquartered in Bengaluru, the company has scaled rapidly, achieving unicorn status in 2021 and serving over 20 million registered users. By leveraging India's digital public infrastructure and proprietary risk-management technology, Slice aims to simplify the banking experience for Millennials and Gen Z. Under the leadership of founder and CEO Rajan Bajaj, the organization continues to focus on digital-first innovation, aiming to bridge the gap between traditional banking and modern, user-centric financial technology.
