Global investment manager Coatue led the latest funding round. Additionally, Checkout.com’s existing investors such as Insight Partners, DST Global, Blossom Capital and Singapore’s Sovereign Wealth Fund, GIC, participated in the round.
The new proceeds will be used to further bolster its balance sheet improving cash availability to more than $300m.
The company also plans to utilise a part of the funding for the development of new products and streamline settlement times.
As a payment solutions provider, Checkout.com provides a platform to enable businesses to accept and process online payments.

“At Checkout.com, we’ve built a technical architecture that enables pioneers to reinvent industries and redefine their relationship with consumers. Now more than ever, we are confident of our mission to build the connected payments that businesses deserve.”
