Prepaid Technologies, which raised $5m in 2016 in a funding round led by Ballast Point Ventures, registered an almost ninefold increase in revenues in the last five years.
The firm recently launched MyDashCard app and a cardholder cashback rewards programme branded as dashPerks.
Edison Partners partner Jennifer Lee said: “Modern payroll and expense management for remote workforces continues to see strong traction through the last 18 months. B2B payments are also trending higher as companies opt for disbursement solutions that make it easier and safer to deliver corporate funds.
“These tailwinds bode particularly well for the company’s growth and provide a moat for adjunct product opportunities.”
