This latest raise follows a Series A one from June 2024, when Sipay secured USD 15 million to support product development, as well as local and international expansion into new markets. The round was led by Anfa, a global investment firm known for its long-term partnerships with entrepreneurs.

After its extension in Turkey, from which the company has acquired 6.3 million wallet users and 25.000 registered merchants, Sipay officials stated that the company plans to establish new partners and networks in emerging markets to scale internationally. In addition to its platform offering financial products and services for businesses and individuals, Sipay intends to focus on cross-border payment solutions as part of its global expansion strategy.
