Series C
£99.7M

The capital raise was led by WisdomTree, Bank of America, Citi, KBC Group, Temasek and Tradeweb to support the expansion of its global settlement network.

"The closing of our Series C reflects a shared conviction that the future of money demands a new foundation, one with Fnality at its core. Our blockchain-based settlement systems, anchored in the credit quality of central bank money, connect traditional finance with the fast adoption of tokenized and decentralized markets. With 24/7 payment rails, real-time settlement, and enhanced liquidity management, we’re not just modernizing wholesale payments, we’re building a future that fuses Decentralized Finance’s operational optimization with Traditional Finance’s capital efficiency. This investment accelerates our journey toward a financial market infrastructure that is more resilient, more inclusive, and ready for the hybrid future of global finance."
— Michelle Neal, CEO of Fnality International
Pre-Seed
£1.3M

The pre-seed round was led by Bobby Previti with participation from senior executives across global financial and logistics firms.

"We’ve identified a clear gap in the market between mainstream online travel agencies and high-end travel concierges. Premium travellers are underserved, often forced to choose between impersonal, self-serve booking platforms or expensive concierge services that are slow to access. Holiwise is building an AI travel agent that combines the convenience of technology with the quality of a tailored luxury experience. It can instantly plan and book complete personalised itineraries, including synchronised flights, premium stays, and curated experiences for individuals or groups."
— Albin Eriksson Lippe, CEO and Co-Founder
Series B
£77.7M

The Series B round will help fund the deployment of the company's tokenised cash innovation and global liquidity management ecosystem.

"Our Series B funding round represents the financial sector’s desire for a central bank money backed blockchain-based settlement solution that bridges the gap between traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralised finance (DeFi) in wholesale markets. Each Fnality Payment System utilises DLT to provide a 24/7 payment rail with the ability to reduce settlement cycles to real-time, while significantly improving intraday liquidity management and marking significant innovation in the speed, functionality, and resilience of wholesale payments."
— Rhomaios Ram
