About this topic
Brussels-based fintech Chift has raised €10.5 million in a Series A round to expand its financial connectivity platform. The company is positioning itself as an infrastructure layer between software businesses and Europe’s fragmented financial services ecosystem, where banks, accounting platforms, payment providers and other services often expose different APIs and data formats. By bringing those connections together, Chift aims to make it easier for companies to integrate financial functionality without building and maintaining each connection independently.
The funding will support Chift’s effort to scale across Europe and strengthen its role as a common connectivity layer for financial applications. That ambition reflects a broader demand for embedded finance and automated financial workflows, as software providers increasingly want to offer payments, account information, bookkeeping and related services within their own products. Europe’s varied markets, regulations and incumbent systems make that integration particularly complex. Chift’s financing marks a significant step in its attempt to simplify this landscape for developers and businesses, while establishing the company as a prominent infrastructure provider in European fintech.
