Thunes Extends Series C Fundraise to US$72M, Upsizing from Initial US$60M – Fintech Singapore

Thunes, a global B2B payment infrastructure platform, announced the extension of its Series C with an additional US$12 million from Visa, Singapore-based global investor EDBI and San-Francisco’s Endeavor Catalyst. This brings its Series C up to US$ 72 million.

Just last month, Thunes had announced an investment of US$60 million led by London-based hedge fund Marshall Wace with support from Bessemer Venture Partners and Southeast Asian private equity firm 01Fintech.

Thunes already has an ongoing global partnership with Visa with a strategic collaboration to extend Visa Direct’s reach to 1.5 billion digital wallets. Through this partnership, Thunes B2B payments platform offers a send-to-wallet capability to 78 digital wallet providers globally.

Using an API integration with Visa Direct, Visa’s customers – financial institutions, governments, neobanks and money transfer operators – can enable consumers and small businesses to send funds to eligible digital wallets in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, powered by the Thunes global network.
