TransBnk, a startup specializing in banking infrastructure solutions, has recently secured USD 25 million in funding. The investment round was primarily led by Bessemer Venture Partners and included contributions from Arkam Ventures and Fundamentum Partnership.

The company provides a unified platform for various financial institutions such as fintechs, corporations, non-banking finance companies, and more to connect with multiple banks through its API-driven system. This enables simplified onboarding processes, transaction management, and reconciliation across different banking relationships.

TransBnk’s funding was sourced from Bessemer’s second India-focused fund, which has a total of USD 350 million and was launched earlier in 2025. Existing investors such as 8i Ventures, Accion Venture Labs, and GMO Venture Partners also contributed to the round.

The Mumbai-based company plans to use the funds to expand its market presence into regions like Southeast Asia and the Middle East. TransBnk has already partnered with over 40 banks and serves more than 220 clients who utilize nearly 1,500 APIs monthly.

Adopting Modern Solutions

TransBnk aims to leverage the shift from traditional capital-expenditure-heavy technology systems to modern operational-expenditure-driven alternatives, beginning with payment and lending infrastructures. The company previously secured USD 4 million in funding led by 8i Ventures in 2024.

In contrast to retail banking, which has seen significant technological advancements, corporate banking remains somewhat lagging, restricting users’ access to streamlined mobile-first banking experiences.

TransBnk officials emphasized that the primary goal of this round is to drive international expansion, build a strong technology and product team, and meet the net worth requirements needed to establish itself as a key tech service provider for banks. Meeting these transaction banking mandates often requires specific net worth criteria, which TransBnk already fulfills.
