Jeff (legal entity JEFF SIA, widely known as Jeff App) operates a data-driven financial marketplace — a "financial supermarket" — that connects underbanked consumers in emerging markets with loans, credit and other financial products, and sells lead generation, data APIs and rejected-applicant exchange services to lenders. Founded in 2019 in Riga, Latvia and launched in Vietnam in 2020, it now operates in markets including Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, India, Mexico, Colombia and Spain, claiming 10M+ users serviced and 100M+ applications processed. It reached profitability in 2023 at ~$10M annual revenue and raised a $2M late-seed round led by Presto Ventures in July 2024.
