Talino has raised USD7.5 million in a Series A funding round to expand its fintech infrastructure platform and accelerate cross-border financial connectivity between developed and emerging markets in the Philippines.

Talino aims to address longstanding challenges in cross-border payments, including regulatory complexity, fragmented legacy systems, and liquidity constraints. Its platform uses an API-first architecture to enable faster deployment of compliant financial products and improve payment efficiency across markets.

The company already supports several fintech solutions, including BayaniPay for remittances, Higala for open banking services, and Bahai Deals for cross-border lending. It also provides embedded financial services to enterprise clients such as Seafood City and SM Development Corporation.

Through partnerships with PDAX and Bridge, Talino plans to enhance global payment flows by enabling faster settlements, improved liquidity, and localised financial services in the Philippines and other emerging markets.
