The €5 million loan package is the second deal agreed between Kantox and SVB, with the first announced in December 2017. The new financing agreement underscores the appeal of Kantox’s growth story and SVB’s track record of investing in disruptive companies.
Philippe Gelis, CEO and co-founder at Kantox said, “We have a very strong relationship with Silicon Valley Bank and are happy to have them support Kantox again with more venture debt. This investment will contribute to our ongoing growth trajectory as we continue to bring more technology to the FX market.”

Kantox is one of the most innovative and exciting Fintech companies coming out of Europe. The team at Kantox is building a market-leading, fully integrated platform to facilitate the seamless management of micro FX exposures, which is an area that presents considerable growth opportunities.”
Kantox’s success has been driven by its currency management and payment solutions, including its award-winning automated micro-hedging solution, Dynamic Hedging, which was recently named Best Risk Management Solution by Treasury Management International.
