Salesforce Ventures, the venture capital arm of the American customer relationship management firm, has invested an undisclosed amount in Razorpay to expand its business-banking platform, the companies said in a statement on Tuesday.

The deal valued Razorpay at more than $3 billion, a little over the valuation sought by the company in April, said a person seeking anonymity. In April, RazorPay raised a $160 million Series E round at a valuation of more than​ $3 billion, led by Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC. Existing investors Sequoia Capital, Ribbit Capital and Matrix Partners also participated in it.

“We will build new products and deliver this experience to businesses in Southeast Asian countries, too,” Mathur said.
