Yuno has raised $45 million in Series B funding as the payments infrastructure fintech looks to accelerate international expansion, develop its agentic AI strategy, and move toward profitability. The round was led by Global PayTech Ventures and backed by investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Tiger Global, QuantumLight Capital, Monashees, Kaszek, and Endeavor Catalyst.

Regional investors Rasmal Ventures, GrowthX Capital, and UAE-based Further Ventures also participated, reflecting Yuno’s growing focus on Gulf markets. The new round brings the company’s total funding to $80 million.

Building the Infrastructure Behind Global Payments

Founded in Colombia in 2022, Yuno provides a single API connecting businesses to payment methods, processors, and fraud detection services. The company says its infrastructure helped merchants recover more than $5 billion in otherwise-failed transaction volume over the past year.

The latest funding will support further technology investment, research and development, and international growth. Yuno CEO Juan Pablo Ortega also says the company has a clear path to profitability in the year ahead.

From Payment Orchestration to Agentic AI

A major part of Yuno’s next phase is its move into agentic AI. The company launched Payments Concierge in April, allowing merchants to interact with its payment infrastructure using natural-language instructions.

Yuno is also developing agents designed to optimise payment routing and identify transaction failures before they affect revenue. The company sees another potential use case emerging as AI agents begin making purchases themselves, creating demand for payment infrastructure designed for machine-driven commerce.

Expanding Into the Gulf

Yuno is simultaneously strengthening its presence in Gulf markets. The company has partnered with Saudi Arabia-based Tap Payments, received PTSP authorisation through its local subsidiary, and integrated with Saudi financial services platform Tabby.

With a regional headquarters in Qatar and additional regional investor support, the Series B gives Yuno capital to pursue both its AI strategy and international expansion.

Key takeaways for fintech startups

Yuno’s latest raise shows how payment infrastructure is evolving alongside AI and new geographic opportunities. Key lessons include:

• Payment orchestration can become increasingly valuable as merchants operate across fragmented markets.
  
  
• Agentic AI could reshape how businesses manage complex payment infrastructure.
  
  
• International expansion requires local partnerships, regulatory capabilities, and market-specific infrastructure.
