Motive is a specialist private equity firm focusing on growth equity and buyout investments in software and information services companies.
The London software business has closed a Series C round backed by Insight Partners and existing shareholders to fund international growth.
"At Insight Partners, we invest in fast-scaling software companies. The Pollinate platform creates white-labelled digital marketplaces for the business customers of the world’s largest banks"
National Australia Bank led the series B round to support the platform's international expansion.
The funding round was backed by a consortium of global financial heavyweights to expand the reach of its merchant services technology.
"Retail banks around the world are facing common issues, but they remain the only ones in the payment chain who can connect directly with both merchants and consumers. They are therefore best placed to help SME’s process transactions, support their balance sheets, and grow their businesses, creating a virtuous circle between the bank, merchants, and consumers. As we know consumers increasingly expect a more personalised service from the businesses they interact with, regardless of their size, so at its heart Pollinate is about relationships and growth through connection – our platform enables relationships to be strengthened through fantastic digital experiences, and real-time data processing analytics and integrations."
