Pliant raises $80m as AI agents reshape B2B payments

Pliant, a FinTech firm offering modular B2B payment services, has secured $80m in Series C funding to open more of its payment infrastructure to AI agents.

The company says businesses are increasingly connecting AI agents directly to their financial systems.

Seaya Nova and Speedinvest co-led the round. Illuminate Financial, Motive Partners and Molten Ventures also invested. Pliant will use the capital to grow its presence in the United States and Canada, prepare launches in additional international markets and speed up its AI roadmap.

The raise comes after Pliant doubled its business in each of the last three years. It also follows soon after the company passed $100m in annual recurring revenue. Pliant has a workforce of over 300 people in eight offices and processes several billion dollars in payments each year for clients and partners in Europe and North America.

Pliant designed its platform on the assumption that AI will increasingly handle business payments. Its in-house AI agents take on repetitive finance tasks for customers at scale. External agents can connect to the platform through Model Context Protocol (MCP), including general assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT as well as automations that companies build themselves.

These connections let businesses build payment steps into many of their operational processes. Much of the new funding is earmarked for expanding Pliant’s agentic payments and workflow capabilities.

The company operates an API-first platform that brings commercial card issuing, payment accounts and foreign exchange together in one system. Its client base includes travel, insurance and AI-native businesses.
