Manchester payments-infrastructure fintech Ryft closed a GBP 20 million Series B on Sept 17, 2026, led by Gresham House Ventures, to fund expansion into Europe and the US. Ryft now serves over 6,500 businesses and has applied for a full EU license via Malta's MFSA to passport across the EEA.
Why this matters for founders
