🚨 Data Vantage Update | Thunes hits unicorn status! 🦄💸🌏

Thunes, the global cross-border payments platform, has officially joined Southeast Asia’s unicorn club following the close of its latest funding round, backed by Apis Partners and Vitruvian Partners.

📄 According to Singapore filings, the round was finalised last week, with both lead investors securing meaningful equity stakes in the company. This marks a major milestone for Thunes as it continues to scale its real-time payments infrastructure across more than 130 markets. 

📈 The round reflects a significant uplift in valuation, underscoring strong investor confidence in Thunes’s global reach and growth trajectory. 🚀

Thunes is now the 57th venture-backed company from Southeast Asia to cross the unicorn threshold. 🏆 Earlier in January, neobank Sygnum, which is dual-headquartered in Singapore and Zurich, hit the same milestone after raising new capital in a strategic growth round led by Fulgur Ventures.
