Pliant raised an $80M Series C led by Seaya Nova and Speedinvest, the Berlin fintech said Wednesday. The funding will support expansion in the US and Canada, entry into additional markets and its AI roadmap.

Pliant combines commercial card issuing, payment accounts, foreign exchange and spend management. It says outside AI agents can connect through the Model Context Protocol to execute payment workflows with permissions, controls and audit trails. The company issues commercial cards in 13 currencies across 32 countries under its European e-money licence and through regulated partners in the UK and US.
