Adfin, a London-based FinTech, has raised £13.3 million in Series A funding to build its agentic money movement platform.

It says it is starting by helping businesses getting paid on time and will work towards a solution where ‘money moves itself’.

In less than two years, Adfin has grown to serve 1,500+ businesses across the UK, from accounting and law firms to scaling businesses in professional services, trades and care.

The firm was founded by payments veterans Tom Pope and Ciprian Diaconasu. Pope spent over a decade building payments infrastructure for Worldpay and Tink, which was acquired by Visa for $2.2 billion, while Diaconasu was the founding engineer at Mambu, which scaled to a $5.3bn valuation and powers FinTech leaders including N26 and Tide.

The funding round was led by Index Ventures, with participation from Visionaries Club and new investors Stéphane Kurgan (former COO of King) and Andrey Khusid (founder of Miro).
