Goldman Sachs, HSBC, ANZ (the Australian and New Zealand banking group), Investec and Spain’s Banco Sabadell, along with other investors, today backed Bud to the tune of $20 million as part of the startup’s Series A funding round. “What we’ve been doing for the last year or so is testing and trialing things with the banks, and that has proven to be very successful.
