amnis secures CHF 10 Million in Funding Round with Swisscom Ventures as Lead Investor

Zurich, February 26, 2025 – AMNIS Treasury Services AG (amnis), a Zurich-based fintech founded to reshape international banking for companies, announces the successful closing of its Series-B investment round, raising CHF 10 million to accelerate its growth. Swisscom Ventures has led the round.

amnis provides an international banking platform designed to help SMEs operate and scale globally – reducing transaction costs, simplifying team expenses, and automating accounting tasks. By eliminating inefficiencies in cross-border finance, amnis’ multi-currency solution gives businesses a competitive edge in the global market. Over the past 12 months, its payment volume has more than doubled, driven by strong demand for its debit card and expense capturing features.

The recent financing round strengthens amnis’ position in existing markets while accelerating expansion into new ones. It also enables the integration of accounting systems and ERP functionalities from third-party providers, creating a seamlessly embedded fintech ecosystem and reinforcing amnis as a key industry player.

New chapter in amnis’ growth story

In addition to Swisscom Ventures, existing investors – including co-investor Lansdowne Investment Company Ltd – participated in the funding round. The round also included a CHF 2 million non-dilutive debt agreement with Lendity, a Swiss-based growth capital investor. This strategic addition diversifies amnis’ funding sources, providing increased flexibility to efficiently support growth-related working capital needs.

“We deliberately chose an investor structure that aligns with our long-term strategy”, said Michael Wüst, co-founder and CEO of amnis. “With Swisscom Ventures, we are writing a new chapter in our company’s history. The involvement of such a prominent representative of the tech market confirms the strength of our platform and our readiness for the next phase.”

Looking ahead, the focus is on growth and profitability. “The cooperation with Swisscom Ventures is the next logical step in this direction,” Wüst added.
