Global card issuer and processor Paymentology has raised $175 million in investment co-led by Apis Partners and Aspirity Partners. Paymentology claims that despite the global payments market being estimated at $49 trillion by 2026, much of the issuing layer remains constrained by legacy infrastructure, limiting innovation, speed and the quality of end-user payment experiences.The firm is enabling real-time processing at scale for clients across 68 countries and giving issuers the flexibility to launch, adapt and manage card and digital payment experiences more efficiently across markets, Finextra reports.Paymentology boasts of new sales rising 117% year-on-year in 2025 and transaction volumes increasing 65%, with growth driven by strong demand from digital banks, embedded finance providers, digital asset-linked card programmes and expense management platforms.The new capital will be used to expand beyond core issuer processing into adjacent areas including credit, stablecoin, tokenisation and AI-driven services.The partner of Fintech section is Tweet Views 4410
