In November 2023 Enfuce raised €8.5M in follow-on funding, bringing its total raised to €62M. The company intends to use the funds to prepare for its next phase of growth, target enterprise customers, and accelerate expansion across Benelux, Germany, and France heading into 2024. Enfuce, founded in 2016 and based in Helsinki, provides an API-first card issuing and payment processing platform marketed as card-as-a-service.
