The Edinburgh based artificial intelligence firm has closed a seed round backed by private investors.
"This very successful fundraising backed by well-known industry leaders is a huge vote of confidence in our technology and business model, enabling us to scale up our business development efforts as well as continue to invest in cutting edge research and attract the most talented people. Our hedge fund clients have been quick to realise the benefits that our unique machine learning platform can provide, and we are in discussions with asset managers who are keen to integrate our AI into their investment process or seeking to launch the next generation of AI-driven funds. Our modular SaaS platform readily integrates into existing infrastructure making it easy to adopt."
The Series D round was led by Addition and will fund international expansion and product development.
"When Luca and I started TrueLayer in 2016, we imagined open banking becoming a new digital channel for solving cost and complexities around payments, digital identity, credit data and much more. We wanted to open up this newly built infrastructure to many businesses and consumers. It is such a joy to see our vision coming alive and open banking based payments quickly becoming the new normal"
The Newcastle-based utility platform has raised a follow-on investment led by DSW Ventures and Northstar Ventures to scale operations and enhance technology.
"We’re delighted to raise this follow-on round from our investors, our second investment in a challenging but very rewarding 12-month period. This is a huge vote of confidence in our business and reflects the incredible progress that the One Utility Bill team has achieved over the last 12 months. We’ll be using the funds to further accelerate our customer growth and invest in our technology."
The open banking newcomer raised funds from members of the Claret Club to expand its staffed kiosk network.
"Working with ABA has been brilliant. OneBanks engaged with ABA early in the growth cycle where the business was only starting to gain traction with relevant stakeholders and I was delighted that the investor network connected to the concept of OneBanks and believed in me as a founder to execute. The support and encouragement from the investors have been a key driver to the success to date."
