With the infusion, Payconiq intends to accelerate developments and support closer integration with banks and merchants.
The firm also plans to utilise the capital to consolidate its Benelux footprint.
Commenting on the development, Payconiq CEO Duke Prins said: “At Payconiq, we believe that every person owning a bank account and a smartphone is entitled to be part of the digital journey – no need of a credit card for that!
“We wanted to keep it simple and safe and we found a way of doing it while using what is already available. We’re actually using banks’ secure infrastructure to provide everyone in Europe with a simple, mobile solution for payments.”
