On September 15, 2014, Carta Worldwide closed the first tranche of a $12 million Series D venture round. Led by Toronto-based merchant bank Difference Capital and DC Thomson (UK), the $7-million investment adds to the more than $50 million the company has invested in its digital transaction processing platform.
In 2015 Carta partnered with Visa Inc. and Vodafone to enable contactless bank card payments. The Vodafone wallet uses a hybrid of a hardware SIM card and cloud-based tokenization.
