Neat has already set up an office in London. Now it intends to open an office in South East Asia to streamline cross-border trading for export businesses.

Last year, the company opened an office in Shenzen to target Chinese exporters.

Neat co-founder and CEO David Rosa said: “We believe in making cross-border trade reality for ambitious entrepreneurs around the world.

“This capital injection is going to power our growth in enabling young businesses to operate smoothly between Europe and Asia – especially those in the export business.

“The success of this round has been a clear endorsement that we’re headed in the right direction.”
