SumUp bags €285m in latest funding round to fuel expansion plans

  • SumUp secures €285 million in fresh funding for international growth and expanding payment services for SMEs.
  • Sixth Street Growth leads the funding round, joined by Bain Capital Tech Opportunities, Fin Capital, and Liquidity Group.
  • This funding adds to the €1.5 billion raised since SumUp’s 2012 inception and a $100 million credit facility secured in August.
  • Valued at around €8 billion ($8.6 billion) after a June 2022 funding round, SumUp’s latest injection likely surpasses this figure.

  • Operating in 36 markets, SumUp serves over 4 million clients with financial and payment products.
  • Recent initiatives include a cash advance partnership, 7 am payouts feature, and access to UK Faster Payments via a deal with Form3.
