NEW YORK, Aug. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Knot, the platform that enables card issuers to automatically switch saved payment methods at the request of their users, announced today a $10 million Series A raise led by Nava Ventures, with participation from Amex Ventures, Plaid, and 20+ world-leading CEOs and founders. The funding will be used to scale Knot's services and accelerate the expansion of its merchant support.

"Securing this Series A funding signifies the immense trust our investors have in Knot's potential to revolutionize the way card issuers manage their customers' payment methods," said Rory O'Reilly, CEO of Knot.
