The investment was led by global venture capital and private equity firm Insight Partners and included participation from the existing investor base, including NatWest Group, Mastercard, National Australia Bank, EFM Asset Management, and Motive Partners.
The investment signals Pollinate's further global expansion and move into North America, where they are in advanced conversations with a number of banks.
