Munich/Regensburg — August 08, 2022. anybill's technology and partner network enable retailers of all industry sizes to digitally issue receipts directly at the cash register. Customers can store and manage the digital receipt flexibly on their smartphones. 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 the world's leading providers of digital retail solutions. With AnyBill integration, they can offer their customers a sophisticated solution for issuing digital receipts.

In order to further advance the planned growth in 2022, anybill has received further financing. As a result, the sum of seed financing was extended to 5 million euros. Retailers have faced steadily growing challenges in brick-and-mortar retail, and not just since the receipt issuance requirement came into force in 2020. The expectations of customers are changing, which are now demanding ecological and sustainable strategies in retail. anybill aims to deliver a digital receipt for every payment — in merchant apps, wallets, banking and payment apps or without an application — where digital receipts are expected and needed. The company is positioning 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 of the extensive technical coverage is anybill's partner network. anybill has already won 18 new software partners within the past seven months and thus further expand the partner ecosystem.

Lea Frank, co-founder and CEO of anybill, about anybill's financing and partner ecosystem:

“Thanks to the acquired partners on the software and investor side, we are taking a significant step closer to our goal as an enabler for the issuance, acceptance and further processing of digital purchasing documents. We are firmly convinced that the digital receipt will be the 'new normal in the future and that we can bring about this situation with strong partnerships and our modern technologies. In the future, as a society, we will ask ourselves why we relied on paper receipts in the first place and as a result not only unnecessarily polluted the environment every day, but at the same time left value-added services untapped. anybill enables genuine value-added payment services and can significantly contribute to enabling complete automation of digital document management in the future.”

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

“The anybill team immediately impressed us and 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, which directly become waste, must be converted into a digital format in order to be able to offer all stakeholders an advantage again. We are looking forward to active cooperation over the next few years. ”
