CashShield Raises $20M in Series B Round, Led by Temasek and GGV Capital

MENLO PARK, Calif., June 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- CashShield, an online fraud management solution for mid- to large-sized enterprises, announced today the completion of a $20 million Series B funding round led by Temasek and GGV Capital. Other investors in the round include Tony Fadell, Wavemaker Partners and Tao Zhang.

The latest funding brings CashShield's total financing to $25.5 million. Early investors Tony Fadell and GGV Capital are doubling down on CashShield in this round, increasing their stake in the company. Temasek, a global investment company, joins them in this second round of financing for CashShield.

Combining artificial intelligence (A.I.) and Wall Street high-frequency trading techniques, CashShield secures transactions and consumer accounts from cybercriminals, without the need for human intervention. With the rise of hacking and data breaches, the value of online accounts have skyrocketed, and can be sold on the dark web for 60 times more than a credit card number. The company's unique technology protects consumers' data in a way that it can't be used once stolen.

"The ability to use first-rate technology to solve fraud woes creatively has unlocked tremendous value for enterprises, allowing CashShield to be profitable since the beginning," said Justin Lie, CEO and founder of CashShield. "Investors, too, see the value, and are supporting us in our fight against the online fraud boom."

Since launching in the United States a year ago, CashShield has gained significant traction in the market, adding Yamibuy and Scalefast among others to its global portfolio.

"CashShield secures more than $5 billion worth of transactions per year and over 10 million user accounts. It has an army of A.I. sentries guarding businesses and protecting their customer information. There's nothing else like it on the market," said Fadell, an early investor and Principal at Future Shape LLC.

The funding will be used to strengthen CashShield's end-to-end fraud technology to provide more comprehensive fraud screening abilities for businesses, financial institutions and government organizations.

"Justin is a strong leader with a clear vision," said Jenny Lee, Managing Partner at GGV Capital. "The growth CashShield has shown over the past year has boosted our confidence in their potential and the quality of their technology."
