Pintarnya Secures US$14 Million Credit Facility from January Capital’s Growth Credit Fund, Bringing Total Series A Financing to Over $30 Million

Singapore / Jakarta — [6 January 2026] — Pintarnya, Indonesia’s leading platform for empowering blue-collar workers through job access and financial services, has secured a US$14 million credit facility from January Capital’s Growth Credit Fund to accelerate development of its financial services ecosystem.  This growth credit facility follows Pintarnya’s US$16.7 million Series A round in Aug 2025 led by Square Peg, with participation from Vertex Ventures SE Asia & India and East Ventures.

Founded in 2022 by co-founders Nelly Nurmalasari, Henry Hendrawan, and Ghirish Pokardas, Pintarnya began as an employment platform providing filtered job opportunities with AI-assisted matching and CV creation for job seekers in Indonesia. The company has evolved into a comprehensive ecosystem serving more than 10 million users and 40,000 employers with more than 100,000 job vacancies, and now partners with both digital and traditional lenders to provide not only employment services but also access to financial services. Through Pintarnya's financial services network, over 200,000 users have successfully accessed credit to fund critical needs, including healthcare expenses, school tuition fees and small business inventory.

“We are building a unique ecosystem of Indonesia’s largest blue-collar employment platform connected with the nation’s fastest growing network of digitally-enabled physical branches for asset-backed lending,” said Henry Hendrawan, Co-founder of Pintarnya.  “Not only do we help millions of Indonesian jobseekers with employment opportunities, but we are enabling them access to loans using assets such as gold, electronics or motor vehicles as collateral. This partnership with January Capital enables us to expand our financial services ecosystem sustainably while reinforcing our commitment to help underserved workers in Indonesia with improved access to responsible financial service products”.

With its Series A funding and growth credit facility, Pintarnya aims to enhance its platform capabilities and to expand ease of access to financial services nationwide, allowing users to more seamlessly benefit from the broader range of financial services offered by ecosystem partners.

We are excited to support Pintarnya through this growth credit facility as the company scales its mission to improve the financial lives of millions of Indonesians,” said Glenn Chao, Partner, Credit at January Capital. “Pintarnya’s technology-led approach, combined with disciplined credit and operational execution, positions it as a key enabler of financial inclusion in one of Southeast Asia’s largest labor markets. This investment in Pintarnya underscores January Capital’s commitment to supporting growth-stage companies that are scaling products and services in the Asia Pacific region with flexible, non-dilutive credit solutions. ”
