Pliant Raises $80 Million Series C to Expand B2B Payments Infrastructure
The Berlin fintech plans to use the round to expand in the United States and Canada and accelerate its work connecting AI agents to regulated payment infrastructure.
BERLIN — Berlin-based fintech Pliant announced an $80 million Series C on Nov. 4, 2026. Seaya Nova and Speedinvest led the round, with participation from Illuminate Financial, Motive Partners and Molten Ventures, according to the company.
Pliant provides modular infrastructure for business payments, including card and spend-management capabilities. The company plans to use the funding to expand in the United States and Canada, prepare for additional international markets and accelerate development of its AI roadmap.
Pliant says it is working toward connecting AI agents directly to regulated financial infrastructure so B2B payment workflows can be automated and audited. That ambition depends on permissions, authentication, transaction controls and clear accountability when an agent initiates or changes a payment.
The financing gives Pliant more capacity to expand, but the announcement does not establish future revenue or profitability. For business customers, the practical questions remain integration quality, approval controls, fraud monitoring, reconciliation and the boundaries between automated recommendations and authorized payment execution.
