Prolaz plans to use the funds to further develop its technology platform, expand its local acquiring connections, and grow its team to support new and existing markets.

“We are excited to back Prolaz in its mission to modernize payment acceptance in Europe” said Danail Petkov, Chief Financial Officer of Prolaz. “This funding will enable us to accelerate innovation and continue building value for banks, merchants, and the wider payments ecosystem.”
