The funding round was led by Coatue, which was joined by Spark Capital, Avid Ventures, FJ Labs, and Latitude.

Last year, Rapyd completed the acquisition of European card acquirer Korta. The company said it will continue looking for strategic acquisitions in the US, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East and Africa.

Rapyd co-founder and CEO Arik Shtilman said: “To kick off 2021 with this substantial round of funding to further invest in our platform is a tremendous vote of confidence both in the growing need for local payment solutions that can be deployed at scale globally and more specifically in our vision and company.”

Coatue managing partner Kris Fredrickson said: “Rapyd’s API, which abstracts away this complexity, is currently powering what we think are many of the world’s most exciting companies.”

Recently, Rapyd launched its all-in-one suite of payment solution in Thailand.
