Commenting on the latest development, Soldo CEO and founder Carlo Gualandri said: “We are delighted to welcome Temasek as the lead investor. With a track record of investing in category-leading fintechs, Temasek’s insights will be valuable to us as we scale our platform and offering.

“Managing business spend is costly and challenging, yet Soldo continues to demonstrate its value and ease to customers of every size and across every industry. It’s clear this category will see exponential growth as more businesses realise the benefits and Soldo is well placed to support them.”

Following its $61m Series B funding round in July 2019, Soldo has significantly increased the size of its business with more than 200 employees across offices in Dublin, London, Rome, and Milan.

With the latest funding round, the company intends to deepen its focus on new markets including Benelux, France and Germany where Soldo sees immense potential for growth.

“The company operates in a large and fast-growing market, and we are thrilled to partner with its outstanding management team as they seek to build Europe’s leading pay and spend automation platform.”
