Media Release
Bank of America Enters into a Joint Venture Agreement with Jio Financial
Services Limited to Acquire up to 49.9% in Jio Credit Limited
● Bank of America’s investment, including the equity shares and warrants (if fully subscribed),
would be ₹18,268 crore (~$1.9 billion USD*).
● Jio Credit receives further capital to support its growth in India and expertise of a global
financial services firm.
● The investment supports Bank of America’s commitment to its global franchise with a strong

Mumbai/New York, August 12, 2026: Jio Financial Services Limited (JFSL) and Bank of America
Corporation (BofA) today announced that they have signed a definitive agreement whereby BofA
will acquire up to a total of 49.9% interest as a joint venture partner in JFSL’s wholly-owned NBFC
(non-bank financial company) lending subsidiary, Jio Credit Limited (JCL) through a preferential
allotment of equity shares and warrants.
The venture will combine JFSL’s digital reach and knowledge of the Indian market with BofA’s
global financial services expertise. Both companies share the common vision of improving clients’
financial lives through state-of-the-art digital access, innovation, access to credit and strong risk
management.
JCL is among India’s fastest growing NBFCs, having built assets under management (AUM) of
₹30,667 crore (~$3.2 billion USD) as of June 30, 2026, within just two years of operations. The
digital-first lender is focused on bridging the gap between traditional finance and modern
accessibility through its diverse suite of lending products, with ambitions to responsibly continue
its growth trajectory by providing borrowing opportunities across existing and new products
within India.
The investment will allow BofA to expand its participation in the rapidly growing Indian market,
the world’s fastest growing major economy at double the global growth rate, while doing so with
a partner that has local expertise and differentiated capabilities.
As India’s financial sector expands alongside the nation’s robust economic growth, the
partnership positions the venture to capitalize on emerging growth opportunities in the industry.
Beyond securing long-term capital for sustainable loan growth, the collaboration provides the
venture with access to BofA’s expertise related to financial services, governance, risk
management, and technology.
*Assuming FX conversion rate of US$1 = INR 96
The investment of up to ₹18,268 crore (~$1.9 billion USD) will be made through a preferential
allotment of equity shares and warrants. The transaction initially gives Bank of America a 26.5%
equity interest in JCL, which can go up to 49.9% upon exercise of the warrants. The transaction is
subject to regulatory and statutory approvals.
Pursuant to the transaction, JCL’s Board of Directors will have equal representation from both JFSL
and BofA. The existing management team of JCL will continue driving the strategy and operations
at the NBFC and JCL will continue to be consolidated as a subsidiary in JFSL’s financial reporting.
Commenting on the proposed partnership, Mukesh D. Ambani said: "Our country’s progress
toward becoming Viksit Bharat by 2047 demands a financial ecosystem built on scale, trust, and
inclusivity. Central to this journey is the democratization of responsible credit — characterised by lower
costs for the customer, absolute transparency, and expanding access to capital as our economy grows.
Jio Financial Services is committed to making finance more seamless and simpler for Indians than ever
before, leveraging new technology and anchored in the highest standards of governance. Our strategic
partnership with Bank of America is a pivotal milestone in this mission. By combining our digital reach
with Bank of America’s global pedigree, we will eliminate friction in credit delivery for all Indians,
empowering them to chart a prosperous and inclusive path forward for the entire nation.”
Brian Moynihan, Chair and Chief Executive Officer, Bank of America said: “India is one of the
world’s most important growth markets, and this investment reflects our confidence in its future, a
market we know well and have supported for decades. We are excited to become a partner with Jio
Financial Services, which has achieved remarkable scale in a short period of time, growing to more
than $3 billion in assets under management in just two years.
By combining Jio Financial Services’ scale, local expertise and customer base with Bank of America’s
global reach, digital experience and close to 250 years of leadership in banking, we can help expand
access to financial services and support India’s continued economic growth.”
