London-based global issuer-processor Paymentology has secured $175 million in fresh funding, the company confirmed on Tuesday. The investment round was co-led by Apis Partners and Aspirity Partners, with Apis channeling its capital through the Apis Growth Fund III vehicle. This deal marks Apis’s 16th investment in the payments sector. For Aspirity, a pan-European private-equity firm specializing in financial technology, the move underscores its growing focus on infrastructure-level fintech plays.
The new capital injection will allow Paymentology to accelerate product development and expand its global footprint, particularly in regions where digital payment adoption is surging.

By pulling in backing from two institutional investors with deep sector expertise, Paymentology positions itself for faster scaling and deeper market penetration. The round signals continued investor confidence in the issuer-processing space, where demand for real-time, scalable, and secure payment infrastructure remains strong.
