Yuno raises US$45M Series B to scale its AI-native payments operating system for global financial services

Colombian paytech Yuno has closed a US$45 million Series B led by Global PayTech Ventures, with participation from Andreessen Horowitz, Tiger Global, QuantumLight Capital, Monashees, Kaszek and Endeavor Catalyst, among others. For high-risk merchants and their PSPs, the point is simple: Yuno is betting that one API, more than 1.000 payment methods and more than 460 integrations can keep more transactions alive, in more countries, with less manual plumbing.

1. The round also included regional strategic investors Rasmal Ventures, the first investment firm in Qatar backed by Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), Further Ventures, the sovereign-backed investment firm based in Abu Dhabi, and GrowthX Capital, backed by tech investor and entrepreneur Hamad Al-Hajri.
2. Yuno said the capital will be used to accelerate its path to profitability and strengthen its position as a category leader in global financial infrastructure. It also points the money at R&D, next-generation payments technology and continued expansion of its global infrastructure.
3. The company says that over the last year it recovered more than US$5.000 million in transaction volume that would otherwise have failed for merchants on its network, lifted authorization rates by approximately 5% and saved clients more than US$500 million in processing costs.
4. In the same period, Yuno added 150 new integrations and expanded local coverage across all continents. Its stack includes smart routing, one-click checkout and AI-driven fraud detection, and the company says it connects businesses through a single API to more than 1.000 payment methods and more than 460 integrations in more than 190 countries.
5. That pitch is especially relevant in gaming, where a single launch can send players from dozens of countries to the same checkout window at once, paying with local methods such as wallets in Southeast Asia, vouchers in Latin America or carrier billing in the Middle East. Yuno says one integration is enough to handle that mix, while also adding fraud prevention, KYC/KYB and real-time optimization for enterprise merchants.

Yuno was founded in Colombia in 2022 and says it is increasingly working with banks and payment providers. For PSPs and acquirers, that matters because the company is positioning itself as the layer that sits between fragmented local payment rails and enterprise merchants that want market-by-market coverage without stitching together a new stack every time they expand.
