"This Series B funding is a pivotal moment for FISPAN, empowering us to significantly scale our innovation and market reach," said Lisa Shields, CEO & Founder at FISPAN. "Canapi quickly distinguished themselves through their understanding of the embedded ERP banking landscape and our unique opportunity within it. With an LP network of over 75 financial institutions—and partners with banktech operating expertise — Canapi is a natural partner for our next chapter. We're excited to work with Canapi to help more treasury teams optimize their operations."
