KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 5 (Bernama) -- Moove, a global mobility technology company, has raised US$250 million in a Series C funding round that values the company at US$2.1 billion, led by Mubadala Investment Company and co-led by Woven Capital, Toyota’s Growth Fund, and Ion Pacific. (US$1=RM4.09)
The funding will support Moove’s expansion of its autonomous vehicle business, including fleet ownership, autonomous vehicle infrastructure and its robotics-focused depot facilities known as “Nests”, where autonomous fleets are charged, serviced, maintained and managed.
The company also plans to expand into new markets and increase its autonomous vehicle workforce from about 150 employees to 500 by the end of the year.
Moove Co-Founder, Co-Chief Executive Officer and Advisory Board Chairman, Ladi Delano said the company is building the infrastructure needed to support autonomous mobility at scale.
“Autonomy requires fleets, charging, maintenance, data systems and 24/7 operations in every city — and that is what Moove is building,” he said in a statement.
Moove said scaling autonomous mobility requires more than vehicle technology, including access to capital, fleet operations, charging infrastructure, maintenance capabilities and operational systems. The company is building an infrastructure layer designed to support the deployment and management of autonomous transportation networks.
Since its founding in 2020, Moove has developed a mobility operations platform for human-driven ride-hailing services and now operates about 42,000 vehicles across 29 cities in 13 countries. It employs 3,300 people globally and has grown to US$420 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) through organic expansion and acquisitions, including Kovi in Brazil and Tokyo Taxi in Japan.
Moove is extending its fleet management and operational expertise into autonomous mobility, where it operates autonomous vehicle fleets through its partnership with Waymo in Phoenix and Miami, with future operations planned in London.
The company said it is applying its experience in fleet orchestration, operations, servicing, charging and logistics to support the deployment of next-generation autonomous vehicle systems.

Shinhan Bank Selects StoneX Payments as Strategic Cross-Border Payments Partner
Partnership Delivers Institutional-Grade FX Execution and Pay-Outs Across 140 currencies, and Enhances Emerging-Market Access for South Korea's Second-Largest Bank
SINGAPORE, July 31 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- StoneX Group Inc. (“StoneX”; NASDAQ: SNEX) today announced that its Payments Division (“StoneX Payments”) has entered a strategic partnership with Shinhan Bank, one of South Korea’s oldest and most systemically significant financial institutions. Under the agreement, Shinhan Bank will integrate with StoneX Payments’ streamlined solution to offer its clients comprehensive cross-border payment and foreign exchange services combining institutional-grade execution, deep emerging-market expertise, and transparent, competitive pricing across more than 140 currencies and 180 countries.
With approximately 29 million customers and a global franchise spanning retail, corporate, and institutional banking, Shinhan Bank is a cornerstone of South Korea’s financial system. The partnership grants Shinhan access to StoneX Payments’ proprietary platform and network of more than 385 banks worldwide, purpose-built for high-volume, high-complexity cross-border flows. Unlike conventional consumer remittance solutions, StoneX Payments delivers the full breadth of an institutional payment infrastructure spanning FX, local currency settlement, last-mile delivery in frontier markets, and real-time transaction transparency embedded seamlessly within Shinhan’s existing banking environment.
The collaboration builds on StoneX’s growing footprint in South Korea and the broader Asia-Pacific region, where demand for efficient access to Latin American, Middle Eastern, and African payment corridors is accelerating. Shinhan Bank’s clients, including global importers & exporters, multinational corporations, and non-profit organization, will benefit from reduced transaction costs, faster settlement times, and access to thinly traded currency corridors that have historically required multiple intermediaries to navigate.
“StoneX Payments offers something genuinely different: the depth of a comprehensive and time-tested global infrastructure combined with the technology and agility our clients’ demand,” a senior Shinhan Bank spokesperson stated. “This partnership positions Shinhan Bank at the forefront of next-generation cross-border financial services, enabling us to serve our customers wherever they operate in the world — including markets where access has previously been unreliable or cost-prohibitive,”
“It is an honour to celebrate our 20th year of StoneX in Asia with this pivotal partnership,” said Thiago Vieira, Global Head of StoneX Payments. “Shinhan Bank is a landmark institution, and this new venture reflects our steadfast commitment to Asia as a strategic growth market. Our platform was built for exactly this: providing major financial institutions with an institutional-grade payments infrastructure they can trust with their most complex international payment flows. As we execute our Asia expansion strategy, powering Shinhan's global ambitions is precisely the kind of partnership that demonstrates what StoneX Payments offers to the world's leading banks.”
The partnership is effective immediately. Full integration is expected to be completed in phases, with Shinhan Bank customers gaining access to an expanding suite of StoneX Payments capabilities and currencies over the coming months.
