Chift Raises €2.3M Seed to Unify Financial Tool APIs for SaaS

Chift, a Belgium-based fintech, raised €2.3 million (approximately $2.5 million) in seed funding announced on June 25, 2024, to expand its unified API platform. The platform enables SaaS companies to integrate with dozens of financial tools, including Pennylane, Agicap, Pleo, and Mollie, through a single integration point. A key differentiator is that Chift handles ongoing API maintenance, shielding clients from disruptions caused by changes in third-party integrations.

The funding will be used to broaden the range of supported financial tool integrations and scale operations. By simplifying multi-tool connectivity, Chift reduces the engineering burden on SaaS companies seeking to embed financial data and workflows. The raise reflects growing demand for middleware solutions that bridge the gap between SaaS platforms and an increasingly fragmented financial services ecosystem.
