Slice, an instant credit brand aimed at millennials and young professionals, has raised capital from Axis Bank in a strategic deal, according to three industry executives aware of the development.

The infusion was part of Slice’s larger funding round late last year, when the Bengaluru-based fintech secured $210 million from Tiger Global and Insight Partners and earned unicorn-dom.
