Copper\u2019s systems serve a global customer base of over 200 exchanges, trading firms and payment processors. In order to broaden its international footprint, particularly across the US and Asia, with plans to open at least two new regional offices, the company needs a lot of funds. However, now the plan is just a step from being realised, as Series B (co-organised by Dawn Capital and Target Global) funding round has just closed with a whopping sum of $ 50 million!

But this is going to change soon: CleverCards has just announced <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the business of ExpendiaSmart. Separately, CleverCards also revealed it is closing out on a capital raise of EUR 10 million. The funds are going to be used to finalize more buyouts, as CleverCards is planning to consolidate the highly fragmented B2B FinTech market this way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more about <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/services\/alternative-financing\/\">card distribution platforms development<\/a><\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <svg class=\"wave\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"280\" height=\"9\" viewBox=\"0 0 280 9\">\n    <path fill=\"currentColor\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M0 3.6c2.88 0 4.18-.668 5.824-1.515C7.724 1.108 9.879 0 13.998 0c4.12 0 6.274 1.108 8.175 2.085 1.644.847 2.943 1.515 5.823 1.515 2.88 0 4.179-.668 5.824-1.515C35.72 1.108 37.874 0 41.995 0c4.12 0 6.274 1.108 8.174 2.085 1.645.847 2.945 1.515 5.824 1.515 2.88 0 4.18-.668 5.826-1.515C63.719 1.108 65.873 0 69.993 0c4.12 0 6.274 1.108 8.174 2.085 1.645.847 2.945 1.515 5.823 1.515 2.88 0 4.18-.668 5.825-1.515C91.715 1.108 93.87 0 97.99 0c4.12 0 6.273 1.108 8.174 2.085 1.645.847 2.945 1.515 5.823 1.515 2.88 0 4.178-.668 5.824-1.515 1.9-.977 4.054-2.085 8.173-2.085 4.12 0 6.273 1.108 8.174 2.085 1.646.847 2.945 1.515 5.825 1.515 2.88 0 4.18-.668 5.826-1.515 1.9-.977 4.055-2.085 8.175-2.085 4.12 0 6.273 1.108 8.174 2.085 1.646.847 2.945 1.515 5.825 1.515 2.88 0 4.179-.668 5.824-1.515 1.9-.977 4.054-2.085 8.175-2.085 4.12 0 6.274 1.108 8.175 2.085 1.646.847 2.946 1.515 5.826 1.515 2.88 0 4.18-.668 5.826-1.515 1.9-.977 4.054-2.085 8.175-2.085 4.12 0 6.273 1.108 8.174 2.085 1.646.847 2.945 1.515 5.825 1.515 2.881 0 4.18-.668 5.827-1.515 1.9-.977 4.056-2.085 8.176-2.085 4.121 0 6.276 1.108 8.177 2.085 1.646.847 2.946 1.515 5.827 1.515s4.181-.668 5.828-1.515C259.718 1.108 261.873 0 265.995 0c4.121 0 6.275 1.108 8.177 2.084 1.645.848 2.946 1.516 5.828 1.516V9h-.007l-5.252-.793c-1.129-.382-2.056-.848-2.919-1.291-1.646-.847-2.946-1.516-5.827-1.516-2.882 0-4.183.669-5.829 1.516-1.9.977-4.056 2.084-8.177 2.084-4.12 0-6.275-1.107-8.176-2.084-1.647-.847-2.947-1.516-5.828-1.516-2.88 0-4.18.669-5.827 1.516-1.9.977-4.055 2.084-8.176 2.084-4.12 0-6.273-1.107-8.175-2.084-1.645-.847-2.944-1.516-5.824-1.516s-4.18.669-5.826 1.516c-1.9.977-4.055 2.084-8.175 2.084-4.12 0-6.275-1.107-8.176-2.084-1.644-.847-2.945-1.516-5.825-1.516-2.88 0-4.18.669-5.825 1.516-1.9.977-4.054 2.084-8.174 2.084-4.12 0-6.274-1.107-8.176-2.084-1.644-.847-2.943-1.516-5.823-1.516-2.88 0-4.18.669-5.826 1.516-1.9.977-4.054 2.084-8.175 2.084-4.12 0-6.274-1.107-8.174-2.084-1.646-.847-2.946-1.516-5.825-1.516s-4.179.669-5.824 1.516c-1.9.977-4.053 2.084-8.173 2.084s-6.273-1.107-8.173-2.084c-1.645-.847-2.945-1.516-5.824-1.516-2.88 0-4.179.669-5.824 1.516C90.265 7.893 88.11 9 83.99 9c-4.12 0-6.273-1.107-8.173-2.084-1.645-.847-2.944-1.516-5.824-1.516s-4.18.669-5.825 1.516C62.268 7.893 60.113 9 55.993 9c-4.12 0-6.274-1.107-8.174-2.084-1.645-.847-2.945-1.516-5.824-1.516-2.88 0-4.18.669-5.825 1.516C34.27 7.893 32.116 9 27.996 9c-4.12 0-6.273-1.107-8.174-2.084-1.645-.847-2.945-1.516-5.824-1.516s-4.179.669-5.824 1.516C7.311 7.359 1.127 8.618 0 9\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/article>\n\n\n<article\n    id=\"fintech-news-block-block_60ae20f7687c8\"\n    class=\"fintech-news-block block \"\n>\n    <h1 class=\"fintech-news-block-title\">Zip is crossing oceans and continents to reach the Middle East and Central Europe<\/h1>\n    <div class=\"row\">\n        <div class=\"column tablet-4 fintech-news-block-image-column\">\n          <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"361\" height=\"203\" src=\"https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/zip-logo-361x203.png\" class=\"attachment-case-study-thumbnail size-case-study-thumbnail\" alt=\"BNPL offered to UK travellers by Zip and Alternative Airlines\" srcset=\"https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/zip-logo-361x203.png 361w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/zip-logo-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/zip-logo-178x100.png 178w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/zip-logo-432x243.png 432w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/zip-logo.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 361px) 100vw, 361px\" \/>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"column tablet-8\">\n          <h2 class=\"fintech-news-block-subtitle\">Another buy now, pay later news (so much about this sector this week!)<\/h2>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"fintech-news-block-content\">\n        <p><a href=\"https:\/\/zip.co\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Zip <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">is not your average buy now, pay later startup.
