BKN301 Group, a London-based fintech architecture provider, has raised US$38 million in new financing after securing a credit facility from funds and accounts managed by BlackRock. The company has also completed the acquisition of Planky, a UK-based firm specialising in AI-driven financial analytics and open banking technology.
The new credit facility complements BKN301’s latest Series B round, bringing total capital raised to $38 million and supporting its expansion strategy across the Middle East, Africa, and Europe.
Boosting AI-Driven Fintech Infrastructure
BKN301 provides modular digital banking infrastructure designed to help financial institutions and fintechs build scalable digital services.
With the acquisition of Planky, the company gains access to a proprietary AI and data analytics engine that includes machine learning models for real-time insights, behavioural scoring, and predictive analytics.
These capabilities will be integrated into BKN301’s platform to enhance automation, support compliance, and deliver more personalised digital banking services for clients operating in emerging markets.
A Pivotal Milestone for the Company
Stiven Muccioli, Founder and CEO of BKN301, said the combined financing and acquisition mark a major step forward in the company’s long-term strategy:
“This milestone marks a defining moment for BKN301. With the growth financing and Planky’s AI capabilities, we’re accelerating toward our vision of a next-generation fintech infrastructure — one that’s intelligent, open, and designed to empower financial inclusion at scale across emerging markets.”
Focus on Emerging Markets
Over the next 18 months, BKN301 plans to strengthen its AI and data analytics capabilities, expand partnerships with regional financial institutions, and explore further acquisitions to support technological innovation and market growth.
The company says the integration of Planky’s AI engine will play a central role in unlocking more efficient and tailored banking services, particularly in markets where digital financial inclusion remains a significant opportunity.
