London-based The Currency Cloud has raised a $10 Million Series B from existing investors Atlas, Anthemis & Notion Capital, along with new investor Xange, Frenchweb reported this afternoon, bringing the total fundraising to $17 Million. The Currency Cloud provides cloud-based currency transfer services, attacking the long-outdated wire-transfer market.

Essentially, The Currency Cloud uses network effect to make bulk transfers (instead of many individual transfers) across bank accounts that it maintains in ever region it operates in – this reduces cost/transfer, and allows the service to return the savings to the user.

The Currency Cloud powers customers like Transfer Wise ,who provide a currency-transfer service for customers looking to transfer from one currency to another. In the background, The Currency Cloud’s API allows for automated payments across multiple markets in an automated fashion.
