London's APEXX Global secures $8 million Series A for 'one-stop' payments API

London-based payments platform APEXX Global has raised an $8 million Series A from new and existing investors, including Forward Partners, MMC and Alliance Ventures, who all participated in the startup’s $4 million seed round back in 2017.

APEXX has created a ‘one-stop solution’ for customer-facing businesses, who use the API to link acquirers, payment gateways, shopping carts, and alternative payment methods in a simple transaction process that’s designed for higher sales conversion. The goal is “increasing efficiency and reducing costs” for merchants, according to Peter Keenan, the fintech company’s co-founder and CEO.

The new investment will go to developing the software’s ‘next-generation payment-routing capability’, improving the customer experience on the platform, and growing the team, which currently counts 65 members working in London and the cities of Pune and Ahmedabad in India.
