YC-backed embedded finance fintech, Anchor, has raised $2.4 million in a seed round led by Goat Capital with participation from FoundersX, Rebel Fund, Pioneer Fund, Y Combinator, Byld Ventures and Future Africa among others.

Anchor’s partnership with regulated financial institutions enables fintechs and SMEs to create and embed financial services in their core products.
