Pliant: $80 million for AI agents to make payments
Summary
Pliant raised $80 million in a Series C round to expand its enterprise payments platform and push into the United States and Canada. The company plans to open its infrastructure to external AI agents so they can execute payment workflows through MCP with controls, permissions, and auditability. Pliant says it has surpassed $100 million in annual recurring revenue and now operates across 32 countries with more than 300 employees. The funding will support North American expansion, entry into new markets, and further AI product development.
