UK Fintech Ryft Secures £5.7 Million for Electricity Market Payment Solutions as an Alternative to Stripe and Adyen – TFN

Revolutionizing Payment Solutions: Ryft’s Innovative Approach

In a rapidly evolving fintech landscape, traditional payment systems for marketplaces with multiple merchants often result in efficiency challenges, lost time, and reliance on various platforms. Ryft addresses these issues by consolidating payment processes into a single, effective platform. This innovative solution automates payments, simplifies merchant integration, and ensures next-day payment processing for both merchants and consumers.

Recent Funding Boost

Today, the British fintech startup Ryft has secured £5.7 million in a Series A funding round, aimed at enhancing its payment infrastructure. This latest investment brings Ryft’s total funding to £7.4 million, positioning the company as a formidable competitor in the fintech arena, historically dominated by leaders like Stripe Connect and Adyen. Previously, in 2022, Ryft successfully raised £1.2 million in seed funding.

Strategic Investments and Support

The investment round was spearheaded by Edenbase, with participation from GPS Investments, the British Business Bank, Pembroke VCT, SideByside, and Ingenii VC. Notably, former PayPal leaders joined the funding effort, showcasing increased confidence in Ryft’s vision. Early investor SFC Capital notably exited partially during this round with a remarkable 6.2x return on investment, underscoring Ryft’s impressive growth potential.

Plans for Expansion and Product Development

With the new funding, Ryft aims to capitalize on its momentum by expanding its suite of modular payment products and pursuing international growth. The company plans to refine its platform, which enables banking partners to automate complex payment processes, route transactions in real-time, and introduce features like conditional payments. These capabilities are crucial for businesses that manage multi-party transactions and commission-based sales.

Meeting Market Needs with Flexibility

Founded in 2019 by Sadra Hosseini and Alex Mackenzie, Ryft emerged from the challenges the co-founders faced while operating their previous catering startup. They encountered significant obstacles when attempting to implement flexible payment flows that fit marketplace transactions. Recognizing the gaps in existing solutions, they launched Ryft as a PSD2-compliant payment platform tailored to the needs of marketplaces.

Ryft Core: A Comprehensive and Compliant Payment System

Ryft’s platform aims to streamline various payment processes into one comprehensive solution, reducing risks associated with integration for marketplaces. The platform supports online payment acceptance, merchant verification, and flexible payment distribution—all accessible through user-friendly API documentation. This efficiency eliminates reliance on costly third-party services and minimizes internal development times, with over 1,500 businesses already benefiting from significant cost reductions of up to 62% in payment processing expenses.

Positioning Against Industry Leaders

As marketplaces grow increasingly complex, Ryft is positioned to offer banks and platforms the flexibility and control that giants like Stripe Connect and Adyen provide, but at a much lower cost. Unlike the rigid frameworks of its competitors, Ryft allows for personalized transaction flows and delayed payments, empowering banks to maintain their relationships with merchants. This makes Ryft a compelling alternative in the $20 billion acquiring ecosystem.

Expert Insights from Investors

Industry experts are optimistic about Ryft’s growth trajectory. Eric Van der Kleij of Edenbase remarked on the founders’ understanding of the complexities surrounding payment partnerships. Fred Ursell from Pembroke VCT emphasized Ryft’s deep expertise and rapid execution capabilities, while Jason Druker of SFC Capital highlighted the scalable solution Ryft offers to solve critical challenges in the payment space. With this strong support, Ryft appears poised to further disrupt the fintech industry.
