As part of the round, the UK-based pension fund Railpen will join TransferMate as a shareholder.

The fresh capital will be used by the firm to further invest in its technology innovation and product suite and expand its teams globally.

TransferMate founder Terry Clune said: “By combining our technology and our global licence network, we empower software providers, banks and fintechs to deliver payments dramatically faster & cheaper than the traditional SWIFT system. We will use this investment to continue to recruit senior financial talent who can help broaden our customer base.”

The investment will enable the firm “to accelerate its mission to drive innovation as businesses seek to digitise their B2B payments within the core software that they use to conduct their day-to-day activities,” TransferMate CEO Sinead Fitzmaurice added.
