Fintech platform Ramp, which gives businesses the tools they need to control their business spend, has raised US$300m at a valuation of almost US$6bn.

The New York-based fintech offers a single platform that brings together corporate cards, expense management, accounts payable and various accountancy automation tools to help make life easier for finance departments.

The tech upstart is already working with over 15,000 companies, leading to a six-fold increase in Ramp’s transaction volume since its last fundraise in December 2021. The company estimates that it has saved customers over US$600m compared to legacy finance tools and methods, resulting in a saving of around 8.5m employee hours.

In the past three months alone, Ramp has entered the procurement software category with Ramp Plus, a new paid edition of its platform; launched Ramp Intelligence, which uses natural language to generate actionable insights for finance departments; and acquired Cohere.io, an AI-powered customer support platform.

Its latest Series D round was co-led by Thrive Capital and Sands Capital, with participation from General Catalyst, Founders Fund, and other existing investors.

“In the last year alone, we’ve expanded Ramp’s offerings to become the only platform in the market that’s designed to save businesses time and money,” said Eric Glyman, CEO of Ramp.

“Our mission is to help our customers build healthier businesses and this funding will help us execute against our goal to continue expanding the Ramp platform to better serve customers. At Ramp, we succeed when our customers can run their business more efficiently.”
