Finbridge AI Global, a fintech startup based in Turkey, has joined FasterCapital’s LaunchUp program as it sets out to raise $1M in funding. The company aims to address financial exclusion in the region through its AI-powered Behavioral Wealth Engine, a mobile-first solution designed to support Turkey’s underbanked individuals and small businesses.

The Behavioral Wealth Engine combines elements of behavioral finance, gamification, and personalized financial planning to help users develop sustainable money habits, increase savings, and achieve long-term financial goals. With nearly 40% of Turkey’s population underbanked, Finbridge AI Global is tackling a critical challenge with a user-centric and technology-driven approach.

Raheem Larry Babatunde, CEO of Finbridge AI Global, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership: “Joining FasterCapital’s LaunchUp program is a strategic step for us as we build momentum toward financial empowerment in underserved communities. Their support helps us bring smarter financial solutions to people who need them the most.”

From FasterCapital’s side, Hesham Zreik, CEO, shared his thoughts: “We are excited to welcome Finbridge AI Global to the LaunchUp program. Their mission aligns perfectly with our values—leveraging technology to create inclusive economic opportunities.”

He added, “By addressing the needs of Turkey’s underbanked population through intelligent, gamified financial planning, Finbridge AI Global is poised to make a significant social and economic impact.”

The company’s $1M raise will go toward product development, market expansion, and user acquisition, all aimed at building a scalable, inclusive financial platform that bridges the gap between communities and wealth-building tools.
