The Series E round, which valued Melio at $2 billion, follows a ten-fold increase in revenue since the last funding round three years ago, driven by an expansion of Melio’s customer base to include medium-sized businesses and the launch of new partnerships.

Melio’s platform integrates cash flow management, accounts receivable and accounts payable solutions to help small and medium-sized businesses – and their accountants – maximize cash flow and save significant time managing their payment operations.

The solution, CashFlow CentralSM allows the more than 3,500 financial institution clients of Fiserv to better meet the payment operations and cash flow needs of their small and medium-sized business clients and members.

“We’re proud to witness our embedded solution helping our partners better service their business clients, leading to increased deposits, higher engagement and creating new revenue streams,” said Melio CEO and co-founder Matan Bar.
