BKN301 Extends Series B to € 33 Million, Opening a New Chapter of Global Growth and Acquisitions

BKN301, a fintech architecture provider, led by Stiven Muccioli, Federico Zambelli Hosmer, and Luca Bertozzi, has secured a credit facility from funds and accounts managed by BlackRock, and acquired Planky, a UK-based tech company specialized in AI-driven financial analytics and open banking. The credit facility goes alongside its latest Series B round, taking the total amount raised to €33 million.

The new financing will accelerate BKN301’s roadmap, supporting the expansion of its digital banking architecture platform across EMEA markets. By integrating modular digital banking infrastructure with advanced data analytics and machine learning, BKN301 is advancing its mission to enable financial innovation in emerging economies and broader global markets.

With the acquisition of Planky, BKN301 acquires a proprietary AI and data analytics engine to be fully integrated into its digital banking architecture. Planky’s machine learning models, focused on real-time financial insights, behavioural scoring, and predictive analytics, will enhance the intelligence and automation of the platform.

The integration will allow financial institutions and fintechs leveraging BKN301’s technology to offer faster, smarter, and more personalised digital banking experiences while maintaining robust compliance and scalability.

The extended Series B and Planky acquisition coincide with BKN301’s ongoing expansion across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, providing banks, fintechs, and corporates with agile, AI-powered infrastructure.

The company’s growth strategy over the next 18 months includes strengthening AI and data analytics capabilities within the core platform, expanding strategic partnerships with regional financial institutions, and pursuing M&A opportunities to accelerate technological innovation and market reach.
