BankiFi will use the investment to support its aim of providing its embedded banking platform to over two million SMBs across four continents by 2024.
It provides an open cash management platform and architecture, which can be embedded into financial institutions’ existing infrastructure to offer services that suit the needs of SMBs.
BankiFi Americas CEO Keith Riddle said: “Technology investments have been slowing down this year, and to see our investors show such a strong commitment is a huge vote of confidence in BankiFi’s direction and growth.
“Our mission is to make all aspects of cash management and payments easier for SMBs everywhere, and this investment is another huge step to making that a reality.”
