Lanchi Ventures-Backed ONERWAY Secures 10 Million Series A+ to Bolster Global Payments Infrastructure

SINGAPORE and LONDON, Aug. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- UK-founded global payments infrastructure provider ONERWAY has closed a $10 million series A+ funding round, with a valuation approaching $200 million. The round was led by Yunqi, with participation from all series A investors Lanchi Ventures, Eminence Ventures and Enlight Growth Partners, underscoring sustained investor confidence in its mission to streamline global financial transactions. The new capital will accelerate its global expansion, enhance cross-border payment infrastructure for faster and more cost-effective processing, and improve its current product matrix with new solutions such as stablecoin, agentic payment and other AI-driven products. "The payments system is the foundational infrastructure underpinning global commerce, having given rise to multibillion-dollar giants such as Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, and Stripe. Today, advancements in AI and stablecoins are bringing unprecedented opportunities to the industry. Lanchi Ventures firmly supports ONERWAY's exceptional founders in building a new generation of world-class payment platforms with the power of technology – making cross-border transactions safer, more convenient, and more efficient," commented Lanchi Ventures. Since 2017, ONERWAY has established itself as a leader in overseas corporate account solutions, handling cross-border merchant acquiring, global payouts and card issuance for a growing roster of global clients. Trusted by top e-commerce platforms, leading gaming developers and AIGC startups, it now supports over 170 payment methods across 110 currencies, with seven global offices covering more than 60 countries and regions. Having maintained profitability since 2022 and with a strong cash position, it has demonstrated robust execution, wrapping up this Series A+ round in months despite volatile capital market conditions. This track record reinforces its appeal to both investors and merchants seeking a stable, scalable payment partner. "The rapid completion of this funding round validates our growth strategy in a challenging market," said Andy Wang, Co-founder & CEO of ONERWAY. "We're not just scaling; we're redefining how businesses transact across borders. This funding accelerates that mission: breaking down fragmentation, slashing friction, and putting global growth within reach for every business." Leading investor Yunqi added: "ONERWAY is positioned to deliver end-to-end innovative payment solutions that align with the structural transformation of payment infrastructure and evolving consumer interaction paradigms. Through ongoing technological investment and global deployment capabilities, ONERWAY has become a strong partner for merchants worldwide." Looking ahead, ONERWAY will deploy the funds to enhance its technology, expand licensing and deepen partnerships, strengthening its ability to serve merchants operating across borders. With preparations underway for a Series B round in 2026, the company is poised to reinforce its position as a leading provider of global payment solutions, offering reliability and innovation for businesses ready to scale internationally.

'The change makes domestic R&D far more attractive.'
