Jun 2022Undisclosed stageMotive Partners (lead)$126M$2.6BBackbase is an Amsterdam-based fintech company founded in 2003 that provides the Engagement Banking Platform, a cloud-based solution enabling banks and credit unions to deliver seamless, customer-centric digital experiences across the entire customer lifecycle, from onboarding and servicing to lending and wallet expansion. The platform addresses legacy tech issues in banking by replacing siloed, point solutions with a unified architecture focused on holistic customer journeys. On June 9, 2022, Backbase announced its first-ever external funding round: €120 million (approximately $128 million) in growth equity from Motive Partners as the sole and lead investor. This investment valued the company at a post-money €2.5 billion ($2.6 billion equivalent in some reports), allowing Backbase to remain independent while accelerating product expansion, sales and marketing, team growth, and geographic reach into regions like the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. Having bootstrapped for nearly two decades, Backbase reached over €200 million in revenue organically prior to the round, serving 150 customers worldwide with a team of over 2,000 employees. The funding underscores Backbase's market leadership in engagement banking, with founder and CEO Jouk Pleiter emphasizing continued focus on customer needs and organic growth formula. Motive Partners, a fintech-focused private equity firm with offices in New York and London, praised Backbase's decade-long innovation in digital banking relationships. At the time, Backbase operated globally across every continent, positioning itself against fragmented banking tech stacks to capture more market share in digital transformation programs.
