Escrowpay, a pioneer in digital escrow platforms, has recently raised $600 thousand from its existing investors, taking the total funding to an impressive $6.6 million in its ongoing Series A round which has a total target of $15 million.

The fintech, which currently serves over 3000 clients, including SMEs, unicorns, listed enterprises, and emerging digital-first businesses across India, and has processed transactions exceeding INR 15,000 crore, plans to utilize the funds to accelerate its initiatives, support key growth areas, and foster innovation within the payments ecosystem. As part of its expansion plans, Escrowpay is intensifying its focus on cross-border transactions with a presence in overseas geographies such as UAE and the UK. The groundwork for this expansion has already begun, reflecting the company's commitment to meeting the evolving needs of its clients on a global scale.

Ashwin Chawwla, Managing Director, Escrowpay, expressed gratitude for the continued support from existing investors. "We have been building relentlessly to digitize cash optimization solutions since 2015. We are grateful for the continued support and confidence shown by our existing investors. This capital infusion positions us well for the next phase of growth, allowing us to execute on our strategic vision and deliver exceptional value to our customers and stakeholders.
