Knot – a platform that enables card issuers to automatically switch saved payment methods at the request of their users – recently announced a $10 million Series A raise led by Nava Ventures, with participation from Amex Ventures, Plaid, and 20+ world-leading CEOs and founders. And the funding will be used to scale Knot’s services and accelerate the expansion of its merchant support.
Since launching, Knot has been a go-to solution for card issuers that are looking to increase user spend and reduce churn. Knot’s API offers card issuers the ability to instantly update card-on-file information at almost any merchant with just a few lines of code, meaning an easier onboarding experience for consumers and more revenue and retention for the bank.
With this funding round, Knot plans to expand its merchant support even further, aiming to ultimately encompass virtually all online merchants. Knot will also use this funding to scale additional products, such as the Knot Subscription Canceller and Account Creator, to help financial institutions seamlessly integrate into their customer’s digital lives. This commitment to broad support reflects Knot’s dedication to improving payment processes for businesses and consumers alike, and to maintaining a customer-first approach in all its operations.
