Revio, a Cape Town, South Africa-based API payment and collections company, raised $1.1 million in seed funding to solve payment failures in emerging markets.
The round was led by SpeedInvest, with participation from Ralicap, The Fund, Two Culture Capital, and strategic angel investors from Sequoia Capital, Quona Capital, and Circle Payments.
The funding will be used to launch new products, expand the team, and enter new emerging markets, all contributing to Revio’s mission of reducing payment failures and churn.
“We’re grateful to be supported by some of the world’s best FinTech investors and operators,” said Revio founder and CEO, Ruaan Botha. “We have ambitions to build a global business that helps businesses reduce failed payments and recover revenue they’ve earned. We know that growing a business is hard, but getting paid shouldn’t be. I’m excited to partner with our investor community to accelerate our growth and the value that we deliver to our customers.”
