Natural Secures $100M Credit Facility to Scale Payments for AI Agents

The financing gives Natural additional capacity to support the growing capital needs of its payments and credit products as AI agents become increasingly active participants in the global economy.

Payments infrastructure is not purely a software problem. At scale, it is also a capital problem. Trillions of dollars move globally every day, with a meaningful portion of that movement relying on capital being extended before cash ultimately settles.

Natural believes AI agents will require access to credit at a rate that far outpaces traditional, human-led payments verticals. The facility is designed to scale alongside that demand, giving Natural the ability to support substantially greater payment volume and deployed credit over time.

“We believe agents will become the primary financial actors of the global economy, and the infrastructure supporting them will need to operate at a scale that’s difficult to comprehend today,” said Kahlil Lalji, CEO and Co-founder of Natural. “For us, the question wasn’t just who could provide capital today. It was who shared our view of where this is going and could scale with us from our first million dollars of deployed credit to our first billion. Upper90 is that partner.”

“Agentic payments are about to reshape how commerce happens, and we believe that the Natural team is going to be the team to lead this transformation,” said Dallin Rosdahl, Managing Director at Upper90, “we are thrilled to partner with Natural and support its vision.”

Upper90’s financing follows more than $40 million in equity raised by Natural from investors including Forerunner, Human Capital, Abstract, Bridge, Brex, Mercury, Privy, Vercel, Notion, Increase, Unit, Figure, and others.

Natural is building vertically across the payments stack to give AI agents the financial infrastructure required to move money, access capital, accept payments, and transact programmatically across the global economy.
