Munich/Regensburg – Aug 8th 22. The technology and partner network of anybill enables retailers of all sizes to issue receipts digitally with existing point of sale software systems. Consumers can store and manage the digital receipt flexibly on their smartphone. The SaaS company anybill is constantly expanding its partner network and, together with software partners, is pursuing the goal of digitizing retail. The latest Connected Retail partners include Diebold Nixdorf and Gebit Solutions. Both companies are global leaders in digital retail solutions. With the anybill integration, they can offer their customers a sophisticated solution for issuing digital receipts. In order to further advance its planned growth in 2022, anybill has received additional financing. Thus, the amount of seed funding could be extended to around 5 million euros. 

Retailers have been facing ever-increasing challenges in stationary retail not only since the receipt issue requirement came into force in 2020. The expectations of customers are changing, who are now demanding ecological and sustainable strategies in retail. anybill is pursuing the goal of providing a digital receipt for every payment – in retailer apps, wallets, banking and payment apps or without an app - wherever digital receipts are expected and needed. The company positions itself as a tech enabler and aims to close a relevant gap in the existing (payment) infrastructure and act as a platform for all stakeholders. One of the most important components in the large-scale technical coverage is anybill's partner network. 18 additional software partners have been acquired by anybill within the past seven months, further expanding the partner ecosystem.

Lea Frank, Co-Founder and CEO of anybill, on the funding and partner ecosystem of anybill: "By gaining partners on the software and investor side, we came a significant step closer to our goal as an enabler for the issuance, acceptance and further processing of digital receipts. We are firmly convinced that the digital receipt will be the 'new normal' in the future and that we can bring about this state with strong partnerships and our modern technologies. In the future, we will ask ourselves why we relied on paper receipts in the first place, thereby not only unnecessarily polluting the environment every day, but at the same time leaving value-creating potential untapped. anybill enables true value-added services around payment and can significantly contribute to enabling full automation around digital receipt management in the future."

Bernd Wendeln, Managing Director, and Christophe Aumaître, Principal of WENVEST Capital, about anybill:

"We were immediately inspired by the team at anybill, as well as convinced that with anybill they could become the FinTech player in the market that solves a really tangible and big problem. The vast amounts of useless receipts that become direct waste need to be converted into a digital format, thus bringing back value to all stakeholders. We are looking forward to a great cooperation.”

Planned growth at anybill for 2022

The tech company anybill was able to attract additional investors to further drive the growth of the startup. On board are Mutschler Ventures, WENVEST Capital and the Auxxo Female Catalyst Fund, as well as well-known founders as business angels. Moreover, in addition to the Payone founders, who already invested in the young company last year, the team was able to win AVG, another industry expert with many years of experience in payment network operations, as an investor. Existing investors such as Ilavska Vuillermoz Capital continue to place their trust in anybill and have also participated in the round again.

Sylvie Mutschler, Managing Director, and Maximilian Engelken, Managing Director of Mutschler Ventures, on anybill:

"We look forward to working with a fantastic founder and her Co-founder and Management team, who we trust will make anybill a category leader."

The nearly 30-member anybill team is at the center of the company's growth plans. The financing will be used primarily to support the employees with new colleagues. To be able to sell and scale the mature product portfolio even better in the future, anybill is particularly looking for motivated team members in Sales, Customer Success Management and Tech.
