Outpost secures £13m Series A funding led by Ribbit to accelerate global infrastructure expansion.
Ribbit has led a £13m Series A investment into Outpost to scale its cross-border compliance and payments infrastructure.
Outpost provides AI-powered payments and compliance infrastructure to help merchants conduct cross-border commerce with zero liability. The platform automates tax compliance and local payment processing across thousands of global jurisdictions.
Outpost has secured £13m in Series A funding led by Ribbit, with continued participation from existing backer Better Tomorrow Ventures alongside a cohort of angel investors. The fresh capital will be deployed to accelerate product development, broaden jurisdictional coverage, and grow headcount in response to mounting global demand for borderless commerce infrastructure. The raise follows a period of intensifying international trade friction and complex regulatory adjustments across global markets.
From the founder
"Brexit, shifting tariffs, and regulatory fragmentation have made cross-border commerce more hostile than at any point in the last two decades. Merchants are forced to choose between spending millions on consultants and local entity setup, or carrying enormous risk on payments and compliance. Outpost exists to eliminate that trade-off. We’ve built the only infrastructure that handles everything from local payment processing to full tax liability, allowing companies to treat international expansion with the same ease as selling locally."
Will Mahon-Heap
CEO and Founder at Outpost
Investor perspective
"Cross-border commerce represents a massive, multi-trillion dollar opportunity that has been historically held back by fragmented infrastructure. Outpost isn’t just offering a better payment gateway; they’ve introduced a novel model that fundamentally changes how merchants access global markets. By absorbing the operational and compliance burdens that stifle expansion, Outpost is building a category-defining platform for the next era of global trade."
