Plumery, a digital banking experience platform for true customer-centric banking, announced it has secured €3 million in additional funding from early-stage investor DN Capital and Fontes managed by leading global VC firm QED Investors. The latest round brings Plumery’s total funding to date to €7 million and is in preparation for a larger Series A round in 2025.
The new capital will be used to expand sales and marketing efforts, strengthen global partner management, and enhance the product’s feature-rich capabilities in the small and medium enterprise (SME) and consumer segments, as well as for lending and microfinance companies. The company also plans to increase headcount in key areas, including product, engineering and commercial roles.
Guy Ward Thomas, Partner at DN Capital said: “Plumery empowers banks, lenders and fintechs to stay competitive in today’s fast moving digital landscape Having backed leading consumer fintechs, we know how important it is to deliver outstanding web and mobile experiences. For incumbents and challengers alike, investing in great digital journeys is crucial to winning and retaining customers in a world where neobanks are raising the bar. Plumery’s innovative approach aligns perfectly with our fintech investment thesis – to transform the banking tech stack delivering real commercial impact. We are excited to back what is clearly a key player in this space to help them expand their global presence.”
Yusuf Özdalga, Partner and Head of Europe at QED Investors, commented: “Plumery is a trailblazer in the digital banking space and is uniquely positioned as a bridge between traditional banking and the fast-evolving fintech landscape.

Their clear vision and execution capabilities have been impressive, particularly in scaling their global presence and enhancing their product suite. We believe in Plumery’s potential to disrupt the market and are excited to support them as they reach new milestones in this next chapter of fintech evolution.”
