The latest investment came from new investors including PayPal Ventures, Hanaco, Whale Rock, and Schonfeld.

Existing backers including NEA, Insight Venture Partners, Acrew, and Pelion also participated in the funding round.

It combines corporate credit cards with its free expense management software, providing businesses with the ability to view and control their budgets, and manage their spending.
