Over $1.5bn raised across 30 FinTech deals this week - read them all here

As we enter Autumn, the summer draught of FinTech deals appears to be over with over $1.5bn raised across 30 deals this week.

This marks two consecutive weeks where over $1bn was raised in the FinTech sector. Last week an eye-watering $1.98bn was raised through 27 FinTech deals.

While last week’s funding was largely spearheaded by one colossal deal – CyberTech Netskope’s $908m round – this week had a larger spread of big deals. There were eight deals that exceeded $100m, with the ten biggest deals of the week raising a combined total of $1.3bn. The biggest deal of the week was a $200m growth round raised by finance automation platform Tipalti. The FinTech leverages AI-powered tools to automate key processes across procurement, supplier management, invoicing, payments, and compliance.

Close behind was the $180m funding round raised by autonomous finance and AI-powered automation company AppZen. The round, which was led by Riverwood Capital, is earmarked to accelerate the adoption of agentic AI.

Both of these deals highlight the impressive week the infrastructure and enterprise software sector had this week. It led the charge for FinTech deal activity, with a total of eight deals. Alongside Tipalti and AppZen were Ualett, Tide, zerohash, Light, PredictAP and Ayoconnect.

RegTech and PayTech were the next most popular sectors, with each recording four deals. The RegTech companies were Signal AI, InCountry, Unit 221B and OnFinance AI, while the PayTechs were Fnality, Cardless, Addi and Stablecorp.

Following behind with three deals each were CyberTech (Prelude Security, revel8 and Mycroft), WealthTech (Finary, Goodvest and Kilde) and data & analytics (Aleph, Veezoo and Elliptic).

The US housed companies were Tipalti, AppZen, Ualett, zerohash, Cardless, Aleph, Prelude Security, InCountry, Unit 221B, PredictAP and MaxHome.AI. The UK had a great week for FinTech deals, with six companies raising funds. These were Signal AI, TRIVER, Fnality, Tide, Veridox and Elliptic.

Other countries represented this week were Saudi Arabia (erad), Denmark (Light), the Netherlands (Insify), Switzerland (Veezoo), Germany (revel8), India (OnFinance AI), Singapore (Kilde) and Indonesia (Ayoconnect).

In recent research from FinTech Global, it found that European FinTech funding fell by 29% YoY in Q2, with a total of $3.3bn raised compared with $4.6bn in Q2 2024. While the funding dipped, there was an increase in the number of deals. The European FinTech sector recorded 209 transactions, slightly higher than the 203 deals completed in Q2 2024.

This approach is designed to improve financial access for workers who are often excluded by mainstream systems.

The new funds will be used to commercialise this technology, expand platform support, and scale customer deployment.

Prelude argues that traditional endpoint tools are not designed to stop today’s threats, with about 75% of advanced attacks now operating entirely in memory. Its approach uses hardware-level telemetry to spot out-of-context code execution, aligning with Microsoft’s Windows Resiliency Initiative.

The capital will be used to accelerate the company’s expansion across Europe and the United States.

Founded in 2016 as a spin-off from ETH Zurich, Veezoo has built what it calls the most mature Agentic Analytics platform. Its technology allows employees across organisations to ask questions in natural language and receive reliable insights, turning complex data into trusted, auditable answers.

The company combines Agentic AI with its Knowledge Graph, which serves as a governance layer to ensure definitions are consistent, security rules are enforced, and data complexity is abstracted for business users.

The company already works with Fortune Global 500 clients and well-known corporates including AXA, Bayer, Baloise, Breitling, Valora and Air Up.

The fresh funds will be used to accelerate product development and expand the platform’s automation capabilities, focusing on reducing friction in transaction touchpoints while ensuring human oversight remains central to the process.

MaxHome.AI’s platform has already gained traction among large US brokerages. Affiliates of Berkshire Hathaway and Coldwell Banker, alongside independents such as The Keyes Company, are using the system to modernise operations.

The funding is set to support product development and sales as Veridox prepares for general launch, according to Business Cloud.

The company uses artificial intelligence to detect fraudulent insurance claims, a problem costing European insurers an estimated €13 billion annually, much of it going undetected.

Veridox’s software analyses claims documents and images, flagging signs of manipulation while explaining why a document presents a risk.

This allows investigators to separate legitimate edits, such as added signatures, from malicious tampering. In a pilot with a $3 billion insurer, Veridox’s minimum viable product detected £50,000 of fraud in seconds.

The company employs 13 people and works with 15 leading insurers, including some of the UK’s largest.

DeFi Technologies has announced a strategic investment in Canada-based Stablecorp, the company behind the QCAD Canadian-dollar stablecoin.

The partnership is designed to scale QCAD’s adoption and strengthen its role in the digital payments ecosystem.

The investment sees DeFi Technologies join Coinbase Ventures, Circle Ventures, Side Door Ventures and other leaders in the digital finance space who already back Stablecorp.

The financial details of the transaction have not been disclosed.

Stablecorp, a Canadian FinTech company, focuses on building digital money infrastructure for global payments. Its flagship product, QCAD, is designed to provide a compliant, CAD-denominated digital asset that can be embedded into financial products and services through its APIs.

With this new partnership, DeFi Technologies intends to use QCAD as the foundation for developing integrated products through its subsidiary Valour, improve liquidity access via Stillman Digital for minting and redemption, and advance a post-quantum security roadmap in collaboration with BTQ. These initiatives are aimed at expanding the market for CAD stablecoins across areas such as e-commerce, cross-border trade, payroll, and treasury operations.
