Paytrix, a London, UK-based company that created a curation layer that will enable you to access payments, raised $18.3 million in a Series A funding round to drive product development and international expansion.
The round was co-led by Unusual Ventures, Motive Partners, and Bain Capital Ventures. Fin Capital, Better Tomorrow Ventures, Hambro Perks, ClockTower Ventures, The Fintech Fund, D4 Ventures, and some angel investors backed Paytrix again.
The payments platform, which makes payments more efficient, is targeting the high-growth business market. It is eyeing international expansion, and with a growing team in Ireland, it will make Ireland the center of global operations.
“High-potential companies struggle to cope with large volumes of international payments and there is a huge gap in the market — at one end you have inefficient local solutions; at the other, you have the tier-one global providers, inaccessible to all but the world’s biggest businesses. Businesses have no option but to stitch together a costly and complex patchwork of service providers and this is the pain point that Paytrix is stepping in to solve," says Aran Brown, CEO and co-founder of Paytrix.
