Ramp secures $750 million in Series F funding at a valuation of $44 billion.
TL;DR: Ramp secured $750 million in a Series F financing led by ICONIQ, GIC, and Ontario Teachers' at a valuation of $44 billion. The spend management platform is venturing into AI token cost management and accounting, boasting over $1 billion in revenue and a 170% growth in total payment volume (TPV).
Two years prior, Ramp was valued at $7.65 billion as a corporate card company. On Wednesday, it announced a $750 million Series F round that elevates its valuation to $44 billion—an almost sixfold surge, positioning it among the most valuable private fintech firms globally.
This funding round was led by ICONIQ, GIC, and the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, attracting new investors such as Goldman Sachs Alternatives, D.E. Shaw, Morgan Stanley Investment Management, Generation Investment Management, Insight Partners, and BroadLight Capital, bringing Ramp’s total equity financing to over $3 billion.
Growth Statistics
The valuation is based on a business that has moved beyond its startup phase. Ramp reports that it has surpassed $1 billion in annualized revenue and is generating positive free cash flow. Total payment volume experienced approximately 170% growth year-over-year as of March 2026, marking the highest growth rate the company has achieved in three years, despite being around 20 times larger than at that prior speed.
The platform currently processes over $100 billion in purchases annually and caters to over 50,000 customers, as reported by TNW earlier. Additionally, it has made international advances by acquiring Stockholm-based Billhop to introduce corporate cards and financial tools in the UK and EU.
Token Spending as a Third Cost Center
What sets this funding round apart from a typical growth narrative is Ramp's perspective on a new category of corporate spending. The company posits that AI token consumption is emerging as a third significant cost center for businesses, alongside personnel and software, which current financial tools fail to address.
The timing of this shift is noteworthy. For instance, Uber depleted its entire AI coding budget for 2026 in just four months. Walmart placed limits on its internal AI assistant. Companies across various industries are realizing that AI usage, often billed per token and typically hidden from procurement teams, can escalate unexpectedly until invoice time arrives.
Ramp aims to provide the same visibility and control for token spending that it already offers for corporate cards, travel, and vendor payments. Whether this new spending category will become as significant as traditional spend management remains to be seen, but the demand is evident, and competition is limited.
Expansion into Accounting with Stack
This funding will also support Ramp's move into accounting through Stack, a product designed for accounting firms. This marks Ramp's first foray into this market, transitioning from serving finance teams within companies to working directly with the firms that advise them.
This strategic move makes sense, as accounting firms have significant influence over purchasing decisions for numerous clients, serving as both a distribution channel and a customer segment. If Ramp can integrate into the workflows of mid-market accounting practices, it could tap into their complete client base.
Rapid Valuation Growth
Ramp's valuation increase has been notably swift, even by fintech standards. It was valued at $7.65 billion in April 2024, $13 billion in March 2025, $22.5 billion in August, and $32 billion in November of that same year. The current $44 billion value reflects a 38% increase in about six months.
This rapid trajectory raises the question: is the business growing into its valuation, or is the valuation outpacing the business? With $1 billion in revenue, Ramp has a revenue multiple of 44x, which is high by most standards, though not uncommon in a landscape where AI-related companies attract higher multiples.
Ramp's competitive stance has markedly improved. In a fintech industry where former competitor Brex agreed to be acquired by Capital One for $5.15 billion—less than half its peak valuation—Ramp has positioned itself as the leading independent spend management platform in the U.S. The critical question shifting forward is not about the company's growth potential but whether the market it is creating, which prioritizes AI tokens alongside travel expenses, will be as expansive as its valuation suggests.
