Transcend, a leader in business optimization for financial firms, announced it has raised $ 10 million in Series A financing led by Nyca Partners, a leading fintech venture capital firm, with support from a major global custodian bank.

We are convinced that Transcend’s innovative solutions will deliver large-scale benefits for financial firms and will help them improve their competitiveness.” said Hans Morris, managing partner at Nyca.
