Adfin, the London-based fintech, has raised $18 million in Series A funding to build the agentic money movement platform: starting by helping businesses getting paid on time, and ending with money that moves itself. The funding round was led by Index Ventures, with participation from Visionaries Club and new investors Stéphane Kurgan (former COO of King) and Andrey Khusid (founder of Miro). The investment brings Adfin’s total funding to over $30 million in less than two years and comes as Adfin was named the third fastest-growing technology company in Europe, and the fastest-growing UK company by Scaling Europe. In the UK alone, almost two-thirds (63%) of invoices sent by SMEs are paid late. This strains working capital, slows growth, and puts jobs at risk. Adfin gives SMEs the tools to get paid on time, uniquely coupling proprietary new payment infrastructure with agentic AI to decide the best course of action for each client and automate the tedious tasks that were preventing businesses doing what they do best: managing client relationships. This infrastructure has already delivered outstanding results for Adfin customers. Today, they see only 9% of their invoices paid late: nearly 7x better than the 63% figure for the UK as a whole. Getting paid is just the start. With the Series A, Adfin plans to expand the Adfin product into end-to-end cashflow management, step up hiring across engineering and sales, and prepare for international expansion. Tom Pope, Adfin Co-founder and CEO said: “Adfin is building the agentic finance platform for money movement: automating the workflows finance teams use to get paid, manage their money, and, in time, much more. And we're doing it the way our customers keep telling us they want: safe, auditable, trackable, with humans firmly in control. By owning both the underlying financial infrastructure and the agentic workflows on top, we'll let finance teams deploy agents in a way nobody else can. Why does this matter? If you're getting paid faster and optimising how you manage cash, you're building a better business. Money movement isn't admin, it's the bloodstream of every company. We believe this so strongly that we've rewritten our mission around it: Adfin exists to help the world build better businesses.” Liam McHugh, Director at Steve Pye & Co, a Norwich-based accounting practice said: “Since using Adfin we’ve seen nearly a 3x reduction in the number of our invoices that are paid late. It’s had a meaningful impact on our cashflow. It also means our team no longer has to spend time chasing invoices, and instead can focus on serving our customers and growing our business.” Julia André, Partner at Index Ventures said, “Index backs founders who have the rare ability to obsess over a problem and build category-defining businesses. We see that same pattern in Tom and Ciprian. We backed them at pre-seed and seed and we're tripling down, because their results speak for themselves."NoYesFundraising News14 May, 2026
