Albion Ventures in $3.3m round for Quantexa
Albion Ventures has taken part in a $3.3m series-A funding round for UK-based Quantexa, a provider of data analytics software for financial services sectors including banking and insurance.
HSBC also took part in the round, stating that it formed part of its strategy of supporting projects designed to detect and prevent financial crime.

The transaction is Albion's first investment of 2017. Most recently the VC invested £1.5m in automotive technology specialists SBD and provided £3m of series-A funding to digital marketing company Convertr Media in November 2016.
