Railsbank will use the proceeds to support its international growth. It aims to expand its BaaS, Cards-as-a-Service and Credit-as-a-Service products across Europe, Asia Pacific and North America.
Railsbank CEO and co-founder Nigel Verdon said: “We are transforming the finance industry in the same way that Apple did to the music industry when they created iTunes.

Outrun Ventures managing partner Chris Adelsbach said: “Outrun Ventures are thrilled to support Railsbank in their recent financing.
