Welcome to Fintech TechCrunch! This week we look at Ramp’s massive capital raise and valuation increase, Mercury’s entry into personal banking, Klarna’s new credit card, global funding rounds and more!

To receive a roundup of TechCrunch’s biggest and most important fintech stories in your inbox every Sunday at 7 a.m. PT, subscribe here.

The big story

Rampan expense management startup rivaling Brex, Navan and Airbase, exclusively told TechCrunch last week that it has raised $150 million at a post-funding valuation of $7.65 billion. Khosla Ventures and Founders Fund co-led the round, which represented a 31.9% increase in valuation from its August 2023 raise. That’s an impressive feat in a tough market full of down cycles. Additionally, Ramp is one of the few large fintechs that hasn’t had to lay off any staff. What’s driving all the investor interest in Ramp? CEO Eric Glyman believes it’s the company’s continued growth and focus on AI.
