Canadian online payment services provider Vogogo has raised USD 8.5 million in an oversubscribed Series B funding round led by Cormark Securities. The round also included Salman Partners, Clarus Securities, Beacon Securities and Canaccord Genuity.

Vogogo provides risk management, security, compliance and payment services, enabling crypto-currency businesses to transact with traditional banks and Fiat currencies.

To date, Vogogo has processed more than USD 1 billion in US and Canadian payments.

The company hopes that the investment will help legitimise Bitcoin in the payments field. The US expansion is expected to go live in a few months and they will further expand into the EU.
