Waffo Group Limited ("Waffo"), a unified global payments and monetization platform, today announced the completion of US$30 million in total funding. The latest Series A round closed at over US$15 million and was co-led by London-based fintech investment firm Illuminate Financial [https://medium.com/illuminate-financial/our-investment-in-waffo-building-the-global-monetisation-layer-for-digital-first-businesses-87599dc313cf] and existing investor Gaorong Capital [https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/x6UKabEIyYaFmgf1n3_SGw], with participation from HSBC and BAI Capital.

Overcoming Global Expansion Challenges for Digital Businesses

These challenges are particularly pronounced for businesses in gaming, AI, SaaS, and digital products, where scalable monetization and reliable payment infrastructure are essential.

Illuminate Financial is a London-based investment firm focused on fintech and financial infrastructure. The firm's strategic backers include leading global financial institutions and market infrastructure providers, such as BNY Mellon, Euroclear, J.P. Morgan, S&P Global, Jefferies Financial Group, Deutsche Boerse Group, Barclays, Citi, SGX, and HSBC.

Beyond capital, these institutions bring long-term industry expertise, strategic insight, and access to a robust network of global partners, bolstering Waffo's continued development as a trusted provider of global payment infrastructure.
