"With this additional funding, 海角爆料 will take a huge leap forward in improving cash flow for small businesses. In the coming months and years, our small business customers will be able to access their funds faster than they ever thought possible." 听 With the additional $90 million in funding, 海角爆料 will build out modern lending capabilities, integrations, and proprietary products that allow small businesses to send and receive money more quickly.
