Global banking software firm Zeta has secured a fresh $50 million investment from a strategic backer. The deal values the company at $2 billion. This marks a sharp jump from its last major funding round in 2021. Back then, Zeta raised $250 million at a pre-money valuation of $1.15 billion. That round was led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2.

Zeta builds core banking and payment software for banks and fintech firms. Its products help institutions launch cards, accounts, loans, and payment services without relying on old systems.

The company says its platform now supports over 25 million customer accounts. More accounts are expected to go live soon through existing client contracts. Zeta works with large banks and regulated financial firms across markets. Its clients include HDFC Bank, corporate benefits provider Pluxee, and US-based card issuer Sparrow Financial.

The funding comes at a time when banking tech firms are under pressure to show scale and long-term clients. Zeta appears to be betting on deep enterprise contracts rather than fast consumer growth.

Atomic Insights has raised $10 million in seed funding as it looks to scale its payment and treasury platform for wealth managers. The round was led by Aquiline, with participation from Northwestern Mutual Future Ventures and existing investors.

Founded in 2023, Atomic Insights focuses on the messy back office work behind money movement. Many RIAs and family offices now handle bill pay, capital calls, and other payments, but still rely on emails, spreadsheets, and custodian portals to get it done.

Atomic Insights pulls those workflows into one system. It captures payment requests, routes approvals, and executes transactions by connecting directly to banks and custodians through real-time APIs. The company says this reduces manual work and lowers the risk of errors. It also helps firms offer “family CFO” services without adding more staff.

Atomic Insights integrates with platforms like Addepar, Arch, Canoe, and Salesforce, along with major custodians. Over the past year, it has signed anchor RIA and family office clients representing more than $75 billion in assets on the platform. With the new capital, the startup plans to deepen its custodian connections, improve cash flow reporting, and roll out new products for wealth managers.
