Silverflow accelerates post-Series B growth with new Amsterdam HQ and 20% headcount increase
Two months after closing a $40 million Series B round, the cloud-native processor is hiring at pace, outgrowing its offices and setting its sights on the US.
Silverflow, the cloud-native payment processing company, is accelerating its post-Series B expansion after signing a major new US customer, increasing headcount by more than 20% and moving into a new Amsterdam headquarters to support growing global demand.
The office move and hiring surge are the latest chapter in a growth story that has few parallels in payments infrastructure. Over the past two and a half years, Silverflow has scaled from processing around 180 transactions per day to over 2 million - a near ten-thousandfold increase and is now approaching one billion transactions on an annualised basis. The company's next target is $100 billion in annual payment value processed.
The relocation to the Overamstel neighborhood in Amsterdam comes just two months after Silverflow closed a $40 million Series B in March. The company has since grown its global workforce by more than 20%, expanding from 85 to over 100 employees and has outpaced its own hiring projections ahead of the timeline it set at the time of the funding announcement.
Anne Willem de Vries, Co-founder & CEO of Silverflow, said:
"Moving into a new office is one of those moments that makes growth feel real. Six years ago , this team was a fraction of the size it is today. We needed more space, more desks and more room to build – and that's exactly what we now have. This is what momentum looks like."
That trajectory is being driven by a growing roster of enterprise customers - including Deutsche Bank, Bolt, payabl. and Buckaroo - spanning acquiring banks, payment companies and high-growth commerce platforms across Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific.
De Vries continued:
"Every hire we make, every square metre we add, is a direct response to what our customers are asking of us. They want faster time-to-market, simpler infrastructure and better data. We can deliver all of that today, at scale, in markets where legacy processors have been a bottleneck for years."
Silverflow's growth is built on a deliberately simple proposition: a single cloud-native platform connecting to the card networks via one API, cutting through the complexity and cost that have defined legacy payment processing for decades.
The Silverflow product offering is actively expanding. Support for China UnionPay and JCB is in development, extending a network suite that already covers Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Diners, Discover and several local debit networks. Enhanced in-store payment capabilities and new acquiring operations tooling are also underway, making Silverflow the omnichannel solution for acquiring banks, payment companies and commerce platforms.
The $40 million Series B led by Picus Capital and joined by Rabo Investments - Corporate Venturing alongside existing investors Inkef, GPT, Crane and Coatue - was raised to fund exactly this kind of expansion. At the time of the round, Picus Capital Partner Florian Reichert said the cloud-native, single-API approach was "not just an alternative, but the inevitable evolution" in payments infrastructure.
With its new Amsterdam office headquarter prepared for a larger, faster-moving team, Silverflow is looking outward. Since announcing its Series B round, the company has signed a new US customer and gone live with an existing US client – a testament to its accelerating global expansion strategy. Silverflow is actively pursuing further growth across the US market while also expanding its presence in Southeast Asia, a region it views as one of the highest-growth and most structurally underserved in global payments.
"We've established ourselves in Europe and have already proven the strength of our platform with customers in markets around the world,"
said de Vries.
"The next step is continuing to scale internationally and delivering on our mission to become the world’s most trusted payment processor.”
