Nordic-based card issuing and payment processing services pioneer Enfuce has raised €7M in Series B funding led by Tencent’s €5M investment, welcoming the strong global VC with a diverse digital portfolio to the investor team.
One of Enfuce’s prior investors Maki.vc invested the other €2M, bringing the total amount raised by the company to €15M. Apart from Maki.vc, the company has been previously supported by a mix of debt and VC financing from multiple Finnish investors: Nordea, LähiTapiola, and Finnvera.
Enfuce, with their global customer base spanning 16 countries and counting, has already established itself as a trusted, knowledgeable, and experienced provider of innovative payment, open banking, and sustainability services for corporates and fintech SMEs. It is this unique combination of card issuing and value-adding services that caught Tencent’s eye. The strong team of founders and experts behind the brand strengthened the global VC’s trust in Enfuce as a solid investment opportunity.
In this investment, it was very important to us that Dr. Ling Ge now has joined our Board of Directors. Tencent sees that we will bring new things to payment technologies, especially speed. They’re also interested in the impact we can make through My Carbon Action – our carbon footprint calculator connected to payments.
