Kord, a UK-based fintech startup providing an integrated platform for identity verification and client money management, has raised £6.4 million in a Series A funding round. This latest injection of capital brings the company's total funding to £9 million, following a period of significant growth that saw revenue increase nearly sevenfold.

Investors

The funding round was led by Guinness Ventures, an investment firm focusing on revenue-generating companies. Additional investors participating in the round included Beringea, SFC Capital, and various angel investors.

Kord Use of Funds

Kord plans to allocate 60 percent of the new funding toward sales and marketing initiatives to accelerate customer acquisition. Another 20 percent is earmarked for technology development, with the remainder dedicated to key senior-level hires, including a new chief financial officer and a chief marketing officer.
