The money raised from this funding round will help Railsbank continue expanding its global capabilities into the USA, Australia and SE Asia and enhance its core product proposition from banking, payments and cards into APIs for other financial services including insurance and credit.
It also announces that it has opened an office in Singapore.
Railsbank’s new office in Singapore will act as a gateway in Southeast Asia and beyond. The initial team in Singapore have already been hired and more will be joining. Railsbank has also expanded its core engineering team in Vilnius, hiring new engineering teams in Vietnam and Sri Lanka.
Railsbank describes itself as a an API based financial innovation and growth platform, designed for developers and product managers to rapidly conceptualise, prototype, build, launch and scale a financial services business, whether it be in one country, or around the world.
