Flutterwave Eyes Up Railsr
African payments technology unicorn Flutterwave has entered the running to acquire embedded banking platform Railsr, which has been hit hard by inflationary pressures, rising interest rates, cashflow pressures and VC pullback.
News of Flutterwave's interest in Railsr was reported by Sky News, which said the African company is competing against a consortium comprising a number of existing Railsr investors.
Railsr last raised a Series C round in Autumn last year made up of $26 million in equity and $20 million debt, at a steeply discounted valuation of $250 million. The funding was intended to act as a bridge funding round to get it over the line for an eventual sale.
Earlier in the year, it was reported that the fintech was searching for a $100 million investment that would have pushed it into Unicorn territory.
Like other firms in the sector, the company has made a number of unspecified staff redundant over recent months and downsized its operations in the face of the global market downturn.
The firm has engaged FT Partners to handle the sale.
