Target Global general partner Mike Lobanov said: “Rapyd is a rare example of a unique solution allowing merchants and banks that work globally to be able to access hundreds of payment methods with one integration around the world.
“This ensures access to services for those who are most in need so that they can pay the way they are used to rather than being obliged to use the existing rails of card schemes.”
The investment takes the total capital raised by Rapyd to $60m.
With the new capital, Rapyd intends to upgrade its platform, which supports bank transfers, e-wallets, and cash for local acceptance and payouts.
