Amnis receives CHF 10 million in financing round with Swisscom Ventures as lead investor
Amnis Treasury Services AG, a Zurich-based fintech that optimizes international payments for companies, announces the successful completion of its Series B financing round. The company raised CHF 10 million to further accelerate its growth. The round was led by Swisscom Ventures.
Amnis offers an international banking platform that supports SMEs to receive and send payments globally - with lower transaction costs and the automation of accounting processes and team expenses. By optimizing cross-border payments in this way, Amnis' multi-currency solution offers companies a decisive competitive advantage. In the last twelve months, Amnis payment volumes have more than doubled, driven by strong demand for the debit card and new expense processing capabilities.
The current financing round strengthens Amnis' market position in existing countries and drives expansion into new markets. At the same time, it enables the connection of further accounting and ERP systems for even more efficient financial processes.
A new chapter in Amnis' growth story
In addition to Swisscom Ventures, existing investors also participated in the financing round, including co-investor Lansdowne Investment Company Ltd. As part of this round, Amnis also secured CHF 2 million in debt capital from Lendity, a Swiss growth capital investor. This strategic addition diversifies Amnis' financing and provides additional flexibility for further growth.
"We deliberately opted for an investor structure that supports our long-term strategy," says Michael Wüst, co-founder and CEO of Amnis. "With Swisscom Ventures, we have a strong partner at our side who shares our vision and will accompany us on our next growth step."
Looking to the future, the focus is on growth and profitability. "The collaboration with Swisscom Ventures is the next logical step in this direction," continues Wüst.
Amnis welcomes new member of the Board of Directors
As part of its strategic development, Amnis is also announcing changes to its Board of Directors. Peter Gerlach has been appointed as the new Chairman of the Board of Directors. He brings extensive experience to lead the company into the next phase of growth.
In addition, Semih Kaçan, Investment Director at Swisscom Ventures, will join the Board of Directors of Amnis. His expertise will further strengthen the fintech's strategic focus. At the same time, the two co-founders Robert Bloch and Philippe Christen are stepping down from the Board of Directors, but will continue to work for Amnis in their current roles as COO and CFO respectively.
Strategic outlook and expansion
More than 3,000 companies in over 35 countries already work with Amnis. In addition to high growth rates in existing markets, the company plans to enter other European countries and expand its services, including e-commerce solutions and additional third-party system integrations.
"We are excited to support Amnis in its next phase," says Rafael Karamanian, founder of Lendity. "With strong growth, a loyal customer base and a world-class team, Amnis is ideally positioned to expand its reach and drive further innovation."
Semih Kaçan comments: "Amnis has built a strong foundation in the SME fintech space and addresses a real market need with its multi-currency solution and scalable proprietary infrastructure. We see significant growth potential and look forward to supporting the team in scaling its embedded finance ecosystem in Europe."
