Paystand CEO Jeremy Almond said: “We’re thrilled to bring together such an iconic group of investors who share our ambition for a more open financial system.
“We made a promise to reboot commercial finance because it’s insecure, inefficient and built on trustless networks and technology.
“Today marks another step towards realising that vision and transforming enterprise finance. We are committed to taking the industry and our customers on a ‘journey to zero,’ without fees, paper, or limits on growth.”
The company has designed its platform to streamline complicated commercial transactions for enterprises.
Its Payments-as-a-Service model and blockchain-based technology enables businesses in digitising and automating the entire cash cycle.
Currently, it counts JCB, Silicon Valley Bank, Bugaboo, Parachute Home and Covetrus among its customers.
