Asian and US expansion fueled by €12.5m fundraiser
Revenue in the first four months of 2022 has shot up by 39% on a year over year basis. The company is scaling fast and has plans to expand their product offering in the coming months.
The firm provides businesses from both fiat and crypto worlds with a wide range of financial services, accessible through single API integration.
The global payments platform has secured more than 200 partners since its inception in 2018. Among its clients are Binance and BitMEX.
The accelerated expansion was fueled by the €12.5 million Series A funding round in June 2021, led by Target Global. 2021 was a breakthrough year for Mercuryo as it expanded into Asian and US markets, and added Apple and Google Pay support to its offer, and launched IBANs to help companies and individuals open full-fledged banking accounts – combining fiat and crypto services in one app.
