International law firm Bird & Bird has advised Adfin, a London-based fintech, on its $18 million Series A fundraise.
Adfin combines modern payments infrastructure with agentic AI to transform how financial operations work. Its mission is to give businesses the tools to get paid faster and at a lower cost, across all the payment methods and communication channels that matter. The funding round was led by Index Ventures, with participation from Visionaries Club and new investors Stéphane Kurgan (former COO of King) and Andrey Khusid (founder of Miro).
The investment brings Adfin’s total funding to over $30 million in less than two years and comes as Adfin was named the third fastest-growing technology company in Europe, and the fastest-growing UK company by Scaling Europe. With the funding, Adfin plans to expand the Adfin product into end-to-end cashflow management, step up hiring across engineering and sales, and prepare for international expansion.
The Bird & Bird team was led by Mark Rundall (partner, Corporate), and included Francesca Mansell (senior associate, Corporate) and Charlotte Cato (associate, Corporate).
