Augmentum Fintech (AUGM), the fintech-focused trust, has made a £7.5m investment in Receipt Bank, the UK-headquartered digital bookkeeping platform.
AUGM’s investment is part of Receipt Bank’s £55m series C fundraising, led by Insight Partners, with participation from exisiting investors Kennet Partners and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC).
Receipt Bank one of the 50 fastest growing technology companies
Receipt Bank (receipt-bank.com), which was named one of the 50 fastest growing technology companies by the Sunday Times 2019 Tech Track, currently operates in six markets – the UK, US, Canada, Australia, South Africa and France. AUGM says the new funding will support further expansion to new markets in Asia and within Europe.
Tim Levene, of AUGM, said: “Digital bookkeeping allows businesses to save both time and expense, and Receipt Bank’s technology make the company a clear leader in this sector. Receipt Bank’s continued growth and product evolution demonstrates that they provide an increasingly essential service for accountants as bookkeeping digitises, which is a trend that they will leverage as they continue their global expansion, and which is supported by this fundraising round.”
