Finom, an Amsterdam-based challenger bank targeting small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), has secured $105 million (approximately €92.7 million) in growth funding from General Catalyst's Customer Value Fund. The fintech company, which serves over 100,000 SMBs across Germany, France, Spain, the Netherlands, and Italy, plans to use the capital to accelerate its expansion throughout Europe and enhance its AI, accounting, and banking platform. In related funding news, Unblocked raised $20 million to develop AI tools that help developers understand codebases, while another startup raised $7.2 million to compete with DocuSign using AI technology. These investments reflect ongoing interest in AI-driven solutions in the cybersecurity and fintech sectors.
