OpenFX, a fintech infrastructure startup focused on cross-border payments, has raised $94 million in a new funding round led by Accel, Lightspeed Faction, M13, Northzone, and Pantera.


The Raise


Key Highlights:

  • $94 million raised from Accel, Lightspeed Faction, M13, Northzone, and Pantera
  • Valuation of approximately $500 million
  • Previously raised $23 million in seed funding in May 2025
  • Building infrastructure for seamless global money movement

  • What OpenFX Does


    OpenFX is building the rails for modern cross-border payments:

  • API-first infrastructure for businesses to send and receive payments globally
  • Real-time settlement across multiple currencies and corridors
  • Compliance-built-in approach reducing friction for businesses
  • Targeting the $150+ trillion annual cross-border payment market

  • Market Opportunity


    Cross-border payments remain one of fintech's largest unsolved problems:

  • Traditional SWIFT transfers still take 2-5 days and cost 3-5% in fees
  • Growing demand from SaaS companies, marketplaces, and gig platforms for instant global payouts
  • Regulatory changes across markets opening new corridors
  • India's UPI success creating a blueprint for real-time payment infrastructure globally

  • Growth Trajectory


    From a $23 million seed to a $94 million round in under a year signals explosive product-market fit and rapidly scaling transaction volumes across OpenFX's payment corridors.
