US fintech firm Amount has secured $81m investment in a Series C funding round to develop its retail banking and point-of-sale (POS) technology.
The funding round was led by Goldman Sachs. It was also joined by the company’s existing backers including August Capital, Invus Opportunities and Hanaco Ventures.
Goldman Sachs growth equity platform GS Growth VP Jade Mandel added: “Amount enables banks to navigate digital transformation through its modular and mobile-first platform for financial products.
“We are excited to partner with the team as they take on this compelling market opportunity.”
The latest funding round follows Series B funding round led by QED Investors managing partner Nigel Morris, earlier this year.
Amount CEO Adam Hughes said: “With the pressure to provide world-class origination and account management experiences to customers and buy-now-pay-later tools to important merchant partners, banks need a proven platform for quickly going digital, delivering a seamless customer experience and driving growth without disruption.
