Yuno Raises $45 Mn Series B to Expand Global Payments Infrastructure

Yuno is an AI-powered platform for global payments and financial services. Its technology helps large businesses, banks and digital wallets manage their payment infrastructure and financial operations.

The funding round was led by Global PayTech Ventures. Other investors included Andreessen Horowitz, Tiger Global, QuantumLight Capital, Monashees, Kaszek, and Endeavor Catalyst.

Rasmal Ventures joined the round as a strategic regional investor. GrowthX Capital, one of Rasmal’s own investors, and Further Ventures, a sovereign-backed investment firm based in Abu Dhabi, also participated in the round.

“The hardest problem in payments is being genuinely local everywhere, and Yuno has solved it at global scale, which is exactly why it resonates in our region,” said Soumaya Ben Beya Dridje, Partner at Rasmal Ventures. “The Gulf is now one of the fastest-growing payments markets in the world, and its future runs along the region's new trade corridors, the same wallets, rails, and shoppers Yuno already connects. We invested because Juan Pablo and his team are building the infrastructure those corridors need, and because they pair that global ambition with real financial discipline. That combination is rare, and it's precisely what we back.”

GrowthX Capital’s founder, Hamad Al Hajri, adds “I have known the founder Juan Pablo since his Rappi journey, Colombia’s first unicorn. I believe he is building his next unicorn with Yuno, this time from the GCC, with Qatar as its regional hub.”

“Most companies raise a Series B to buy growth. We're raising ours to meet our customers' growth, and extend our lead, with a clear line to profitability in the year ahead,” said Juan Pablo Ortega, Co-Founder and CEO of Yuno. “Being local everywhere is the hardest problem in payments, and anyone starting on it today is at least two years behind.”

Yuno was founded in 2022 by Juan Pablo Ortega and Julián Núñez. The company helps businesses accept payments from customers around the world.

Through a single API, Yuno gives businesses access to more than 1,000 payment methods across 190 countries. This makes it easier for companies to manage different payment options in one place.

Yuno is also expanding in the Gulf region. The company has received regulatory certification in Saudi Arabia and has formed partnerships with Tap Payments and Tabby.
