Yuno Raises $45M Series B Led by Global PayTech with Backing from a16z and Tiger Global

Yuno, a Colombian-founded payments infrastructure startup that operates an AI-native operating system for global financial transactions, has secured a $45M Series B funding round, according to fintech.global. The financing event was led by Global PayTech Ventures, with participation from high-profile technology investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Tiger Global, and QuantumLight Capital, an artificial intelligence-focused venture firm founded by Revolut chief executive Nik Storonsky, alongside Monashees, Kaszek, and Endeavor Catalyst.

Strategic regional investors also joined the round, including Rasmal Ventures, backed by the Qatar Investment Authority, sovereign-backed Further Ventures headquartered in Abu Dhabi, and GrowthX Capital, which is supported by technology investor Hamad Al-Hajri, as reported by fintech.global. Founded in Colombia in 2022, Yuno provides an API-driven payments platform that connects enterprise merchants, banks, and digital wallets to more than 1,000 payment methods across more than 190 countries, incorporating smart routing, one-click checkout, and AI-driven fraud protection.

The newly secured capital is designated to accelerate Yuno’s path toward profitability while supporting ongoing research and development, next-generation payments technology, and the expansion of its global infrastructure, according to fintech.global. Over the preceding twelve months, the startup reports that it recouped more than $5bn in transaction volume that otherwise would have failed, boosted authorization rates by approximately 5%, and helped enterprise merchants cut processing costs by upwards of $500m, while rolling out 150 new integrations globally.

Scaling the Global Payments Operating System

Operating as a payment-method agnostic infrastructure provider, Yuno connects businesses to more than 460 integrations through a single API, allowing merchants to deploy payment options across every continent. According to fintech.global, this architecture enables companies to enter new regional markets within days rather than months by streamlining compliance checks, KYC/KYB screening, and localized checkout preferences.

The gaming industry provides a clear example of how the platform operates under high-volume demands. When major international software titles launch, users globally log in within the same hour using diverse local payment methods—such as mobile wallets in Southeast Asia, vouchers in Latin America, or carrier billing in the Middle East. Yuno unifies these transactions through a single connection, preventing transaction drops and administrative friction for enterprise clients.

To deepen its geographic reach, Yuno has established strategic partnerships with major regional financial institutions that white-label its technology. These include Nasdaq-listed cross-border platform dLocal and Prosa, which functions as Mexico’s largest payments processing network, enabling a single agreement to cover an entire national market, as detailed by fintech.global.

Strategic Expansion and Executive Outlook

With demand growing among enterprise clients for deeper integration across their financial stacks, Yuno plans to use the Series B proceeds to expand into in-person payments, advance its agentic commerce offerings, and scale its commercial presence in the United States, according to fintech.global.

“Most companies raise a Series B to buy growth. We’re raising ours to meet our customers’ growth, and extend our lead, with a clear line to profitability in the year ahead,” Yuno Co-Founder and CEO Juan Pablo Ortega said, as reported by fintech.global. “AI has changed the economics of building this company. We grow faster and operate leaner than the generation of infrastructure players before us.”

Soumaya Ben Beya Dridje, a partner at Rasmal Ventures, noted the technical difficulty of the company’s core offering. “The hardest problem in payments is being genuinely local everywhere, and Yuno has solved it at global scale, which is exactly why it resonates in our region,” Dridje said, according to fintech.global, pointing to the Gulf as one of the fastest-growing payments markets globally.

As Yuno deploys its Series B capital toward international infrastructure and product development, stakeholders and enterprise merchants can monitor further corporate updates and technology integrations through official company channels and verified financial disclosures.
