Silverflow, an Amsterdam-based cloud-native payments processor, has secured $40 million in fresh funding led by Picus Capital, with participation from Rabo Investments and existing investors Inkef, GPT, Crane, and Coatue. The company, which handles nearly 1.75 million daily transactions—a surge from 180 daily two years ago—plans to expand globally while increasing its workforce by 50%, from 85 to 120 employees. Deutsche Bank, Bolt, and Payabl now count Silverflow among its clients across Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific.

The funding will accelerate international growth, particularly in North America and Southeast Asia, and deepen product development. Silverflow aims to integrate networks like China UnionPay and JCB while enhancing its data-rich APIs for broader accessibility. This expansion underscores the firm’s resilience amid rising demand for scalable payment solutions.

With processing volumes approaching one billion annual transactions, Silverflow’s architecture has proven critical for institutions navigating complex payment ecosystems. The $40 million infusion signals investor confidence in its ability to capture market share in emerging regions. Analysts note the round positions the company to challenge dominant players in cross-border payments.

Picus Capital’s leadership in this round highlights Silverflow’s strategic pivot toward high-growth markets. As transaction volumes stabilize near 1.75 million daily, the firm’s focus on API innovation and network diversification could redefine its competitive edge in the fragmented fintech sector.
