Yuno Raises $45M Series B for AI Payments OS

Yuno, a fintech innovator specializing in an AI-driven operating system for global financial transactions, has successfully closed a $45 million Series B funding round. This significant capital infusion is earmarked for accelerating its journey toward profitability and bolstering its international payment infrastructure. The round saw robust participation from prominent venture capital firms, underscoring strong market confidence in Yuno's disruptive potential.

Leading the investment was Global PayTech Ventures, joined by a distinguished roster of investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Tiger Global, QuantumLight Capital, Monashees, and Kaszek. Further support came from early-stage specialists Rasmal Ventures, GrowthX Capital, and Further Ventures, collectively signaling a powerful endorsement of Yuno's strategic vision and execution capabilities.

Since its inception in 2022, Yuno has rapidly established itself as a critical player in the payments ecosystem. Its core offering is a unified API platform that seamlessly connects enterprise merchants, financial institutions, and digital wallet providers. This sophisticated infrastructure supports an expansive network of over 1,000 payment methods and more than 460 integrations across 190 countries, facilitating essential services such as payment processing, fund disbursement, AI-powered fraud mitigation, and Know Your Customer/Business compliance.

The company's operational prowess is highlighted by impressive recent performance metrics. Over the past year, Yuno has managed nearly $100 billion in annual transaction volume, successfully recovered an estimated $5 billion in declined transactions, and improved authorization rates by approximately 5%. These achievements have translated into substantial savings for its clientele, estimated at over $500 million in reduced processing costs. The platform also expanded its integration library by adding 150 new connections during this period.

“Our Series B is not about acquiring growth; it’s about empowering our customers’ growth and solidifying our market leadership, with a clear path to profitability within the next year,” stated Juan Pablo Ortega, Co-Founder and CEO of Yuno. This strategic focus on sustainable growth and customer success differentiates Yuno in a competitive market where many startups prioritize top-line expansion above all else.

Yuno's client portfolio features globally recognized brands such as McDonald's, NetEase Games, GoFundMe, inDrive, and Rappi. Strategic alliances with established entities like NASDAQ-listed dLocal, Mexico's leading payment network Prosa, Tap Payments, and Tabby further amplify its market reach and credibility. The company's recent certification as a Payment Technical Service Provider by the Saudi Central Bank in April 2026 also marks a significant step in its expansion into regulated Middle Eastern markets.

The newly acquired capital will be instrumental in advancing Yuno's technological roadmap. Key areas of investment include research and development for next-generation payment solutions, expanding its global infrastructure, and enhancing product features. This includes strengthening in-person payment capabilities and deepening its "agentic commerce" offerings – leveraging AI for automated decision-making and transaction management. A significant focus will also be placed on scaling operations within the United States market, a critical growth frontier.
