Yuno has successfully closed a $45 million Series B funding round, a significant capital injection aimed at accelerating its global expansion in payments and financial services. The company, which operates an AI-native operating system, will leverage this investment to scale its offerings for enterprise merchants, banks, and wallets worldwide.
AI-Powered Global Payments Infrastructure
The core of Yuno’s platform is its ability to connect businesses through a single application programming interface (API) to an extensive network. This network currently spans over 1,000 payment methods and boasts 460 integrations across 190 countries. Key features embedded within the platform include intelligent routing capabilities, a one-click checkout process, and AI-powered fraud detection, according to a company press release.
In the past year alone, Yuno has demonstrated robust growth, adding 150 new integrations and strengthening its local coverage across all continents. This expansion underscores the company’s commitment to providing comprehensive global payment solutions.
Strategic Use of New Capital
The newly acquired $45 million will be strategically allocated to several key areas. A substantial portion will be dedicated to research and development, driving innovation in next-generation payments technology. Furthermore, the funding will support the continued expansion of Yuno’s global infrastructure.
Looking ahead, Yuno has ambitious product expansion plans. These include extending its platform’s capabilities to encompass in-person payments, enhancing its agentic commerce functionalities, and significantly scaling its presence within the United States market.
Consolidating Global Leadership
Juan Pablo Ortega, Co-Founder and CEO of Yuno, emphasized the inherent challenges of achieving a truly global payment presence. “Being local everywhere is the hardest problem in payments, and anyone starting on it today is at least two years behind,” Ortega stated in the release. “With this round we intend to consolidate that leadership on a truly global scale, with real financial discipline.”
The Series B funding round was led by Global PayTech Ventures. Javier Perez, managing partner at Global PayTech Ventures and a board member of Yuno, expressed confidence in the company’s trajectory. “Yuno is redefining payments infrastructure,” Perez commented. “Yuno combines global reach, local intelligence and AI-driven execution to help customers increase global presence, authorization rates, reduce costs and scale faster. I’m proud to support the team as it builds a leading global payments infrastructure company.”
This investment follows Yuno’s September announcement of its AI agents, named Nova. These agents are designed to engage customers in real-time via phone and WhatsApp when payment issues arise, such as insufficient funds or verification errors. Nova selects the optimal outreach method, crafts localized scripts in over 70 languages, and adapts to customer responses, demonstrating Yuno’s commitment to intelligent, customer-centric payment solutions.
