Swiss fintech neon has raised CHF5m ($5.05m) in Series A financing round to expand its product portfolio.
The round was led by Tamedia and also joined by Backbone Ventures and some existing investors of the company.
neon, as a smartphone banking solution, said that it will use the liquidity to add new features to its app.
The fintech firm aims to expedite card transactions, roll out e bill option and introduce additional self-servicing options to the platform.
Tamedia CTO and head of Digital Ventures Samuel Hügli said: “neon is a simple and mobile banking solution that, even though very easy to use, offers a high level of security.
“We’re continuing to support neon not only financially, but also through our expertise in developing and marketing digital platforms.”
