Ten days later, London-based Lhoft member fintech announced on its website a new $37 million round of financing, co-led by Luxembourg-based MiddleGame Ventures and Ventura Capital.
“Over the last four years we have built a winning global team and extended our product to credit and data based information, allowing any fungible product, such as cash, digital assets, kilowatt-hours, gas units, carbon credits, reward points, telecom operator minutes, to be spent as cash,” explains the founder of this fintech, which specializes in open banking and is built directly from an international perspective.
“It is also the latest step in what has been a pivotal year for Railsbank, which saw the signing of two partnerships with Visa and an investment by the payments giant, as well as the acquisition of Wirecard in the United Kingdom,” the press release added.
This will accelerate its activities as a credit card provider in the United States, a $3.8 trillion market.
