As financial institutions struggle with antiquated risk and compliance systems, Hummingbird provides a platform that meets the complex demands of a modern financial system.

Hummingbird RegTech, a provider of risk and compliance technology, today
announced the company has raised $30M in Series B funding. The raise brings
the total venture backed funding total to $41.8M, and comes on the heels of
Hummingbirds $8.2M Series A in 2020. Since 2020, the modern financial system
has exploded with rapid innovation taking place as consumer and enterprise
behaviors shift with the pandemic. This new capital will allow Hummingbird to
uniquely meet the regulatory needs of the modern financial world by providing
a unique CRM designed for risk and compliance professionals.

Battery Ventures led the round with participation from Flourish, Homebrew,
FinVC, and William Hockey, co-founder of Plaid. The additional capital will be
deployed to expand the team, expand product capabilities, and bring the
platform to new markets around the world.

“We know financial institutions often struggle to update or replace older
technology. Hummingbird is designed to augment their existing tech stack and
streamline operations. The platform has resonated extremely well with many
top-tier financial institutions,” said Joe Robinson, CEO of Hummingbird.
“We’ve witnessed tremendous growth this year, and this next round of funding,
with the support of investors like Battery, will help us expand on the use
cases and support company growth.”

Ancient interfaces, overabundance of spreadsheets, scattered data, and
unmanageable inboxes of tedious paperwork are why the success rate of global
anti-money laundering controls is less than 1%, and the estimated amount of
money laundered globally in one year is 2 – 5% of global GDP, or $800 billion
– $2 trillion in current US dollars. It’s amazing any financial crime is
caught, and it’s a problem that needs a solution. One that Hummingbird’s
modern platform provides.

“We have been so impressed with Joe and the rest of the Hummingbird team, and
with the company’s innovative, cloud-based technology that helps financial
institutions and fintechs better protect themselves in a market that is seeing
rapid innovation,” said Michael Brown, a Battery Ventures general partner who
is joining the company’s board. “Battery’s experience backing a number of
prominent fintech players, specifically those in the compliance space,
reinforces our conviction that Hummingbird has a tremendous vision, and we are
excited to be part of their growth.”

Hummingbird gives organizations including Stripe, Coinbase, Evolve Bank &
Trust, and Upgrade a platform that allows them, for the first time, to
organize the data, processes, and insights needed to fight financial crime
much more effectively in a manner designed for the discipline through a
simple, easy-to-use product. Hummingbird helps drive down costs, improves
accuracy, automates financial compliance programs, and facilitates
collaboration and technological advancements. This raise allows them to
continue building out solutions for the industry.
