Visa, which previously invested in the company, is renewing its support for MagicCube with this latest financing. As part of the deal, the two companies will look to further their partnership by exploring new use cases in the payments industry, like Tap to Phone, where the platform can bring next-gen security, operability, and ease of integration.
