Mindflair plc

("Mindflair" or the "Company")

New investment in Agentic payments infrastructure company

 

Mindflair plc, the AIM-quoted company focused on investing in Artificial
Intelligence ("AI") related technology is pleased to announce that Sure Valley
Ventures Fund II ("SVV2"), in which Mindflair holds an interest, has made a
new investment in Ralio Limited ("Ralio"), a UK-based payments infrastructure
company building technology tailored for B2B AI agents.

 

Ralio has raised $2.5 million in pre-seed funding in a round led by Sure
Valley Ventures, with participation from Seed X, Love Ventures, Plug and Play,
rule30, Adeline Arts and Science, Endurance Ventures, Campus Fund, fintech
business angel Alan Morgan and continued support from Antler. The funding will
be used to further develop Ralio's core platform and expand its engineering
team in London.

 

Ralio is building a payments infrastructure system purpose-built for
autonomous B2B AI systems. As AI agents become increasingly capable of
executing financial workflows independently, existing payment systems remain
designed primarily for human users, relying on manual authentication, approval
processes and human-centric fraud controls. Ralio's platform is designed to
address this gap by embedding guardrails, identity verification and audit
trails directly into agentic transactions, enabling AI systems to safely and
accountably move money across payment rails including bank transfers, cards
and stablecoins.

 

Nicholas Lee, Director of Mindflair plc, commented: "Ralio is addressing an
important infrastructure challenge at the intersection of AI and financial
services. As AI agents become more capable of operating autonomously, the
ability for them to transact safely, compliantly and with full accountability
will be a critical enabling layer for enterprise adoption. We believe Ralio is
well positioned in this emerging category with significant long-term
potential."

 

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the release of this
announcement. The person who arranged for the release of this information is
Nicholas Lee, a director of the Company.
