The funding round was led by HSBC and ING to fuel international growth.
"The retail finance market is in a period of exponential growth, expected to hit $2.5 trillion next year. This provides banks with the opportunity to increase lending revenue, diversify their portfolio and neutralise the threat from new entrants."
AlbionVC led the Series A round with participation from enterprise clients HSBC Ventures and Citi.
"Solidatus was built to revolutionise the data economy. The completion of Series A is confirmation that we’ve engineered the right solution to meet the complex needs of data-rich and regulated organisations, delivering a modern, agile and scalable solution. We are looking forward to working alongside our investors to accelerate the delivery of organisational transformation and control to new markets and clients with the same level of commitment to the highest standards of service that are key to the Solidatus offering."
Evolution Equity Partners led the Series C financing alongside participation from British Patient Capital, ABN AMRO Ventures, Dawn Capital, AlbionVC, HSBC and Accenture Ventures.
"We are thrilled that Evolution Equity Partners and British Patient Capital will be joining our team, alongside the strategic investment from ABN AMRO Ventures. Together with the continued trust and commitment from our existing investors, we will drive the next phase of Quantexa’s growth. We are seeing a huge demand for our platform to support multiple applications across our core markets in financial services and within new industry sectors. This investment will accelerate our product innovation roadmap and enable us to invest further into Europe, North America and Asia Pacific regions, as well as expand into new locations."
Global banking firm HSBC joined the Series C round with a strategic investment after four years as a customer.
"HSBC provided important feedback in the early days of our product development, and we’ve successfully expanded our relationship with the bank over the last four years as our platform has evolved. HSBC’s investment is indicative of the impact that we’ve had on their business, and the opportunity that exists for us to help data-driven organizations worldwide with sensitive data management and data privacy."
The strategic funding round was backed by eight major financial institutions including BNY Mellon, Citi, Clearstream, Computershare, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, J.P. Morgan, and State Street.
"We’re extremely proud of what Proxymity has achieved so far within Citi since we developed the platform in 2017. To date, Proxymity has supported over 3,000 shareholder meetings and, after successful pilots, we’ve fully launched the platform in the UK, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, and Australia, as well as a pilot in Spain,"
AlbionVC led the Series A round with participation from ING Ventures and HSBC.
"Banks and asset managers are demanding technology solutions which deliver automation and increased efficiency, but they also want a modern and flexible modular design"
The revolving credit facility will support major investments in beauty, technology and infrastructure.
"We are delighted to join The Hut Group’s core banking facility at this exciting time in the company’s development. This transaction is in line with the banks strategy of facilitating UK corporates with their trade flows to China and underlines our confidence in the THG management team."
