This three-year facility provides LendMN access to longer term international capital, and sustainably expand credit to its underserved customers. This financing marks LendMN's first offshore fundraising initiative and represents Lendable Inc.'s first financial close in Mongolia, demonstrating a strong alignment of interests between both parties under Delphos' strategic guidance and negotiation support.
