Autobooks — a small business payment and accounting services platform — announced recently that they have raised $25 million in Series B funding led by MissionOG. And this funding round also includes participation from other investors including Renaissance Venture Capital, Detroit Venture Partners, Draper Triangle, and TD Bank Group.
Autobooks essentially enables small businesses to send digital invoices and accept online payments directly from their financial institution’s existing online and mobile banking channels. And the Detroit-based fintech works directly with banks and credit unions to unlock the potential within small and micro-businesses – which has been historically difficult to do profitably at scale. Plus Autobooks has developed partnerships with the industry’s leading core & internet banking providers to ensure turn-key deployments, often in less than 90 days – with a clear and measurable ROI.
The funding news follows the recent news of a record 2020 for Autobooks, highlighted by 232% revenue growth and the addition of 46 financial institutions to Autobooks’ rapidly growing customer base of banks and credit unions with assets ranging from $50 million to $350 billion. And the proceeds from this round of funding will allow Autobooks to continue to expand operations domestically as well as enter international markets, accelerate product innovation, further engage with large enterprise banks, and grow its team.
