Outpost, the AI-powered payments and compliance infrastructure platform for cross-border commerce, raised a $17.5 million Series A led by Ribbit to scale an AI-driven platform that helps merchants manage the payments, tax, and compliance complexity of cross-border trade. The company’s model combines automated regulatory intelligence with local market infrastructure, allowing merchants to process transactions domestically, improve approval rates, reduce costs, and outsource tax liability across global jurisdictions. The raise reflects investor conviction that rising tariffs, fragmented regulation, and shifting supply chains are driving strong demand for infrastructure that enables international expansion to be faster, lower-risk, and more operationally efficient.
