Silverflow, a cloud-native payment processing company, has closed a $40m (€37m) Series B funding round as it approaches one billion transactions processed annually.
The round was led by Munich-based deep-tech investor Picus Capital, with participation from Rabo Investments – Corporate Venturing, alongside existing investors Inkef, GPT, Crane and Coatue.
The capital will be used to solidify Silverflow’s position in the payment processing market, accelerate global expansion, enhance its product suite and grow its global workforce by more than 50%.
The company has grown from processing around 180 transactions per day to almost 1.75 million daily over the past two and a half years. Silverflow’s customers span acquiring banks, payment companies and high-growth commerce platforms across Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific, including Deutsche Bank, Bolt, Payabl. and Buckaroo.
To support this growth, Silverflow plans to expand its global headcount from 85 to approximately 120 employees, with a particular focus on software engineering and product development. Geographically, the investment will support expansion in North America through its New York office, as well as a further push into Southeast Asia.
Silverflow is a cloud-native payment processing company offering a single API connection to card networks. Its platform is designed to reduce cost and complexity for acquiring banks, payment companies and commerce platforms, enabling them to accelerate time-to-market and grow revenue.
Silverflow CEO and co-founder Anne Willem De Vries said: “This investment is a clear validation that the market is ready to move past the ‘legacy drag’ of outdated systems. We’re the only cloud-native company targeting this specific area, and this capital will ensure we cement our position as the new standard in payment processing globally. It’s not just about raising money – It’s about having the resources to build the infrastructure that helps our customers, including acquiring banks, payment companies and commerce platforms, to move faster and grow bigger.
“We’re empowering our customers to simplify complexity, accelerate time-to-market and achieve exponential revenue growth. This investment confirms that our focus on un-fragmenting the global payments ecosystem is the right strategy for every company aiming for financial stability and global scale.”
Picus Capital partner Florian Reichert said: “The payments infrastructure market is defined by monolithic, slow systems that stifle innovation. Silverflow has proven that a cloud-native, single-API approach is not just an alternative, but the inevitable evolution.
“Its incredible growth rate, customer momentum and more importantly customer feedback, now approaching one billion transactions processed annually, demonstrate the urgent market need for a modern processor. After working with the team over the past years, we at Picus are proud to lead this Series B round and support Silverflow’s ambitious goal to become the most trusted processor in the world.”
