Finland-based card-as-a-service platform Enfuce has raised €45m in a Series C funding round led by Vitruvian Partners to speed up its growth internationally.
The company’s existing backer Tencent also joined the funding round.
The new capital will also support the development of Enfuce’s technology platform for API-first card issuing and payment processing solutions.
This platform offers features such as expense management, neobanks, loyalty programmes, fuel cards, as well as corporate and consumer lending.
Enfuce co-founder and CEO Monika Liikamaa said: “The payments industry has seen hyper growth in the last 18 months and 2021 has been a groundbreaking year for Enfuce; since the launch of our CaaS offering we have more than doubled our number of payment customers and ARR whilst also seeing strong pan-European traction.”
Enfuce co-founder and CCO Denise Johansson added: “We are today powering some of the most innovative fintech and corporate payment solutions on the market and we are very excited to take this success even further together with Vitruvian Partners.”
