Local fintech Stitch has secured an additional $55 million in funding to enhance its end-to-end payment solutions for businesses across Africa. This move is set to boost Stitch’s role in Africa’s rapidly changing payments market.
The Series B funding round added significant investment power - including QED Investors, Flourish Ventures, Norrsken22 and Glynn Capital.
"We're super excited and proud to be where we are in the market today. We feel we've earned the right to work with clients across the board – not just for online or in-person payments, but with any money movement needs,” said the Stitch team. “It felt like the right time to more aggressively expand our offering so we can further serve our clients.
Founded in 2019, Stitch is a unified payments platform that enables businesses to manage transactions easily across multiple financial institutions. The company also allows companies to offer diverse payment options, improving customer experience and operational efficiency.
The company has a strong track record when it comes to securing investments to fuel its growth. In February 2021, the company raised $4 million in seed funding, following which the company received a $2 million seed extension in October 2021. In February 2022, Stitch announced a $21 million Series A funding round led by various investors such as PayPal Ventures.
Furthermore, the company secured a $25 million Series A extension in October 2023, bringing its total Series A funding to $46 million.
Earlier this year,Stitch acquired Exipay, a payment solution provider marking its entry into the in-person payments market. The acquisition led to the rebranding of Exipay’s platform as “Stitch In-Person Payments,” tailored to cater to large enterprises managing in-person transactions.
