Melio, a B2B payments platform for small and midsized businesses, said today it has received $150 million in funding.
The company, founded in 2018 and based in New York, combines technology applications for managing cash flow, accounts payable and accounts receivable systems. It offers such features as ACH transfers and recurring bill payments.
Melio says it will use the funding, which was led by fintech firm Fiserv, to help “fuel the company’s growth through partnerships.”
Payoneer wants to expand it SMB customer base
Melio is led by CEO Matan Bar, president Tomer Barel and chief technology officer Ilan Atias. They say the company will bolster Melio’s partnership with Fiserv, following the two companies’ efforts last year to integrate Melio’s AP and AR processes for SMBs.
Melio’s total funding to date is now $654 million, according to Crunchbase. Melio says the latest round values the company at $2 billion, a 50% drop from the $4 billion valuation that followed its Series D $250 million funding round in 2021. But Melio asserts the Series E round “follows a ten-fold increase in revenue since the last funding round.” Melio adds that it drove that revenue increase by expanding its customer base with SMBs.
Also participating in the latest funding round were Capital One Ventures, Shopify Ventures, Accel, Bessemer, Coatue, Thrive Capital Frontline Ventures, Latitude and General Catalyst.
Payoneer reports record quarterly payments volume
It was a break-out third quarter for B2B payments and commerce technology company Payoneer Global Inc., a company headed by CEO John Caplan, a former president for North America and Europe at Alibaba Group’s Alibaba.com B2B ecommerce marketplace.
Payoneer, which helps small and midsized businesses transact and grow globally online, said today its third-quarter transaction volume grew 25% year over year, including a 57% increase in B2B growth to $2.8 billion. It attributed the B2B volume increase to “strong customer acquisition and increased average transaction sizes.”
Total Q3 revenue increased 24% to $183.1 million as net income more than tripled to $41.6 million.
The company said it sees a “significant B2B opportunity after five consecutive quarters of growth.” It also view “the long-term opportunity of adding workforce management capabilities to our financial stack after their recent acquisition of Singapore-based Skuad.”
“We are building a full-service financial stack for global cross-border SMBs and accelerating growth and profitability across our business,” Caplan says.
