Flex doubles valuation to $1.2 billion in seven months as it builds stablecoin and AI tools for mid-sized businesses

Flex has raised $70 million in a Series B1 round led by Halo Fund, lifting its valuation to about $1.2 billion just seven months after it was valued at roughly $600 million in its December 2025 Series B. The company said the new capital will support global expansion, with a particular focus on rolling out Flex Global. Flex targets owners of mid-sized, high-net-worth businesses with annual revenue between $3 million and $200 million, especially in construction, wholesale, and import-export. Its pitch is an AI-native private banking and financial operations platform that combines business finance, personal finance, private credit, payments, and ERP connectivity. At the center of that system is Flex Global, which uses stablecoins as a back-end payment rail so users can move money across borders without directly handling wallets. The company said it now supports stablecoin payments and wallet services in more than 100 countries, offers multi-currency accounts across 76 countries and 32 currencies, and has expanded private credit to more than 20 countries. After the latest round, Flex reported annualized revenue had tripled from the prior financing, annualized payment volume had exceeded $10 billion, and stablecoin transaction volume had surpassed $1 billion. The firm also said it has no plans for a native token and no public tokenomics model.
