Mambu is a software company founded in Berlin and headquartered in Amsterdam.[1] Mambu provides infrastructure for banks and financial service providers according to the software as a service (SaaS) model. In December 2021, Mambu reached a company valuation of $5.3 billion, making it one of the unicorns of Germany.[2]

Mambu traces its origins to a platform for microloans and serves neobanks such as Solarisbank and N26, as well as established credit institutions such as Banco Santander and companies such as Check24.[3] The company generates most of its revenue outside of Germany. As of early 2021, the company had nearly 170 business customers in 50 countries.[4]

History

Mambu was founded in 2011 by Frederik Pfisterer and Eugene Danilkis, who had developed technical infrastructure for microfinanciers in Latin America and Africa.[5] The company's first clients were mainly from emerging markets.[6] Early backers included Commerzbank and Berlin-based venture capitalist Point Nine.[7]

In 2016, the German neobank N26 became a Mambu customer. Solarisbank also relies on Mambu's software.[6]

In June 2021, Mambu raised nearly €200 million in a financing round led by EQT Partners.[2]

According to Handelsblatt, contracted annual recurring revenue is estimated at $165 million for 2022.[3]
