Fintech Funding
Financial technology firms worldwide have raised significant amounts for global expansion since the start of 2020 as users started preferring digital payments instead of cash transactions. The recent spread of the Coronavirus pandemic has played a major role in the global adoption of digital payments. The UK-based fintech firm, TrueLayer recently raised nearly $70 million in a funding round led by Addition. In April 2021, dLocal, the Uruguay-based financial technology platform, secured $150 million in funding during a round led by Alkeon Capital. Furthermore, the company received a valuation of $5 billion.
