Gurgaon-based fintech startup Chqbook which allows customers to explore, compare, book and get personal finance products such as home loans, personal loans and credit cards has raised undisclosed funds from YouWeCan-backed Startup Buddy, Apurva Chamaria, global head of corporate marketing at HCL, Sachin Arora, ex-CTO at Myntra, Bharat Gupta, founder of Net Asset Consulting LLP, and others.
“Financial products are quite complex and diverse and our model aims to provide complete and honest advise and support to retail consumers to take best decisions for their key financial needs.
