Canadian challenger bank Koho Financial has raised $70m in an oversubscribed Series C funding round led by new investor TTV Capital.
Existing investors Drive Capital and Portag3 Ventures also participated in the round.
The fintech firm plans to utilise the proceeds to fuel growth as it seeks to normalise accessible, simplified and transparent banking services for everyone.
TTV Capital co-founder and managing partner Gardiner Garrard said: “The landscape of financial services is changing rapidly in the digital age. As a result, individuals need a more modern banking product.
“Koho’s customer focused team has built a low cost, simple to use digital app that provides today’s sophisticated financial consumer with the solution they deserve.”
Koho CEO Daniel Eberhard said: “We’re thrilled to welcome these outstanding new partners and to have our existing investors double down on Koho.
