Revolution Ventures partner Clara Sieg said: “Led by a seasoned leadership team including one of the original fintech pioneers, Sila is the go-to platform for integrating regulatory-compliant payment capabilities into products.

In April last year, Sila closed a $7.7m seed funding round co-led by Madrona Venture Group and Oregon Venture Fund.
The same month, the firm partnered with RocketFuel to offer frictionless payments.
