As digital commerce continues to expand worldwide, payment infrastructure is under growing pressure to deliver faster processing, richer data insights and greater scalability. Many existing payment systems still rely on legacy technology built decades ago, creating complexity for financial institutions and businesses trying to innovate. Amsterdam based payment technology company Silverflow is aiming to modernise this infrastructure with a cloud native processing platform designed for the evolving payments ecosystem. The company has now raised $40 million in Series B funding to accelerate its growth and expand its global footprint.
New funding to scale modern payment infrastructure
The Series B round was led by Picus Capital, with participation from Rabo Investments and existing investors Inkef, Global PayTech Ventures, Crane Venture Partners and Coatue. The investment represents a major step forward for Silverflow as it continues building next generation payment infrastructure designed for modern financial services and digital commerce platforms.
The company plans to use the funding to expand internationally, enhance its technology platform and grow its workforce. Silverflow expects to increase its team by more than fifty percent, bringing its total headcount to around 120 employees in the coming period.
Replacing legacy payment processing systems
Founded in Amsterdam, Silverflow focuses on modernising the underlying systems that power card payments. Traditional payment processing infrastructure often relies on outdated technology that can be difficult to scale, integrate and maintain.
Silverflow’s platform is built as a cloud native system designed specifically for modern payment environments. Through a single application programming interface connection to card networks, the platform enables payment service providers, acquiring banks, payment facilitators and merchants to process card transactions more efficiently.
By simplifying how payment infrastructure connects to card networks, the system aims to reduce operational complexity while enabling faster innovation across the payments value chain.
Providing deeper data insights for payments
In addition to processing transactions, Silverflow’s platform is designed to provide richer payment data and real time insights. Access to more detailed transaction information can help payment companies and merchants improve risk management, optimise performance and better understand customer behaviour.
The company’s technology architecture allows organisations to access detailed data streams that were previously difficult to obtain through legacy payment processors. This capability is particularly valuable for high growth commerce platforms and financial institutions seeking to build new payment services or optimise existing ones.
Rapid growth across global markets
The adoption of Silverflow’s platform has accelerated rapidly over the past few years. According to the company, its processing volume has increased significantly, growing from approximately 180 transactions per day two and a half years ago to nearly 1.75 million daily transactions today.
Customers now include acquiring banks, payment technology companies and fast growing commerce platforms operating across Europe, North America and the Asia Pacific region. This growth reflects the increasing demand for modern payment processing infrastructure capable of supporting global digital commerce.
Company leadership believes the payments industry is entering a period of transformation as organisations begin moving away from legacy technology toward more flexible cloud based platforms.
Expanding global capabilities and product development
With the new funding, Silverflow intends to further strengthen its presence in international markets, particularly in North America and Southeast Asia. These regions represent important growth opportunities as digital payments continue to expand globally.
The company also plans to enhance its technology by adding support for additional card networks and improving developer tools that help payment companies integrate and build services on top of the platform.
Another priority is expanding capabilities for in store card payments, allowing Silverflow’s infrastructure to support both online and physical commerce environments.
As the payments industry evolves and transaction volumes continue to rise, platforms capable of delivering scalable, cloud native infrastructure are becoming increasingly important. With its latest funding round, Silverflow is positioning itself to play a central role in modernising the systems that power global digital payments.
