Payments infrastructure platform Payabli has raised $28 million in a Series B funding round led by Fika Ventures and QED Investors, bringing its total capital to $60 million.
The new funding will be used to develop new products and explore artificial intelligence (AI) applications.
Payabli aims to use AI to streamline operations, enhance customer experiences, and improve revenue.
The company has introduced its first AI-powered support agent named Amigo and is working on risk and fraud detection models using customer data.
Payabli is collaborating with Nvidia to leverage cutting-edge AI infrastructure for its initiatives.
AI and machine learning (ML) technologies are crucial for fraud prevention in financial institutions (FIs), with 71% of FIs using AI and ML for fraud detection.
Despite the benefits of AI and ML, FIs face challenges in implementing these technologies due to limited expertise and resources.
The funding will also support the launch of new products, including an embedded spend management solution.
Payabli seeks to reimagine embedded spend management by enabling software platforms to provide branded expense programs with physical and virtual cards.
The company aims to enhance its offerings by incorporating AI and expanding its product portfolio.
AI and ML play a significant role in detecting fraud in faster payments by analyzing transaction data in real time.
The use of AI and ML technologies by FIs has increased, as they help identify anomalies and patterns for faster decision-making in fraud detection.
Limited expertise and resources pose challenges for FIs in implementing AI and ML solutions internally.
The funding will support Payabli's goal of advancing its AI capabilities, enhancing customer experiences, and developing new products like spend management solutions.
The company aims to stay at the forefront of technology innovation in the payments and financial services industry.
