ABN Amro Ventures, the corporate venture fund of Dutch banking group ABN Amro, has invested in Irish fintech firm Fenergo.

With the investment, Fenergo closed its $80m funding. ABN Amro is said to have invested $6m in the fintech firm.

Last year, the firm secured investment from IT services firm DXC Technology.

The infusion will be used to strengthen the product line-up as well as purchase strategically significant businesses.

ABN AMRO Ventures director Hugo Bongers said: “This investment will contribute to ABN AMRO’s strategic priority to build a future proof bank and fight financial crime.

“We are impressed with the management team and solution Fenergo offers. In addition, this gives us additional exposure to a group of tier one investors.
