Paysend has successfully raised $65m in its latest funding round. The investment round follows a partnership with Mastercard announced earlier this year. The Paysend, Mastercard collaboration is designed to enhance cross-border payments for small and medium sized enterprises. Specifically, Paysend will enhance cross-border payments for SMEs via its Open Payments Network (OPN). In addition, Paysend has secured a strategic partnership with TelevisaUnivision, the world’s largest Spanish language media company. This partnership is designed to target the lucrative USA-Latin America money-transfer corridors. It will see Paysend’s advertising featured on TelevisaUnivision’s network for the next three years. The aim is to enhance Paysend’s visibility and reach across the Hispanic community in the US. Existing investors, including Infravia Growth Capital, One Peak, and Hermes GPE Innovation Fund, also participated in the funding round. Paysend says that this underscores their continued confidence in Paysend’s mission and growth trajectory.
