Buckaroo and YouLend launch Buckaroo Capital. Fast financing for entrepreneurs directly from the payment platform Last updated March 25, 2026 Partnership London, 24 March 2026 - Payment service provider Buckaroo and fintech YouLend are launching Buckaroo Capital during the Webwinkel Vakdagen, a new financing service for entrepreneurs in the Benelux. Entrepreneurs will soon be able to access flexible working capital directly via the Buckaroo portal, based on their own transaction data. With Buckaroo Capital, entrepreneurs gain insight into the financing options available to them. They can then apply for this directly from their existing payment environment. Payment takes place automatically through a percentage of future revenue. This means repayments move in line with the company's actual sales. Many entrepreneurs find it difficult to quickly obtain financing through traditional banking channels, where application procedures are often lengthy and complex. By using transaction data from the Buckaroo platform, financing can be offered faster and tailored to the company's current revenue. Paul Scholten, CEO of Buckaroo commented, "Many entrepreneurs need quick access to working capital without lengthy application procedures. By linking financing to transaction data from our platform, entrepreneurs can invest in the growth of their business more quickly." With Buckaroo Capital, the company is further expanding its services for its more than 54,000 customers in the Benelux with embedded finance solutions, where various financial services are directly integrated into the payment platform that customers use daily. Buckaroo intends to add more embedded finance solutions in the near future. An example of this is the recently announced partnership with Bizcuit, which strengthens integration with accounting software. The financing infrastructure behind Buckaroo Capital is provided by YouLend, an international specialist in embedded finance. YouLend has been working with Buckaroo for a long time and sees this joint solution as a strategic strengthening of the partnership. Luuk Visschedijk, Head of Strategic Partnerships, YouLend, said, "By integrating our technology into the Buckaroo platform, we make YouLend financing more accessible to entrepreneurs in the Benelux. Within their existing environment, they can immediately see what financing is available and make efficient use of it." Buckaroo Capital will be integrated for Buckaroo customers in the Benelux. Full integration with the payment platform is expected to be completed before the summer of 2026. For more information, visit www.buckaroo.eu/capital.

YouLend secures multi-year forward-flow facility from Värde Partners to accelerate U.S. Growth. YouLend, the leading global embedded financing platform for e-commerce, payment and technology platforms, today announces a multi-year financing partnership with Värde Partners, a global investment firm, to further expand its capital base in the United States. The financing is structured as a forward-flow agreement with potential for Värde to purchase up to $225 million in receivables originated by YouLend. Founded in 2016, YouLend provides flexible capital to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) through partnerships with leading platforms, allowing merchants to access funding seamlessly within the tools they already use to run their businesses. The new facility from Värde Partners will fund YouLend's originations in the U.S., further allowing YouLend to support the SMBs who, since the late 1990's, have accounted for between 43.5% and 50.7% of the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) and have historically made up 62.7% of the total net job creation in the U.S. The partnership comes as global enterprise demand for embedded lending infrastructure accelerates, with platforms seeking to integrate financing directly into their merchant experience. To date, YouLend has provided funding to more than 370,000 businesses globally, responding to strong growth across its core markets. YouLend has recently expanded into a larger U.S. headquarters in Atlanta to support its growing American team and in January 2026 opened a Berlin office to further expand its footprint across the European Union. "Securing this facility is a significant step in scaling our U.S. platform," said Gaurav Maheshwari, Head of Capital Markets, at YouLend. "Värde's deep experience in U.S. asset-backed credit and speciality finance makes them a strong partner as we continue to invest in our U.S. capabilities and meet growing merchant demand in this core market." Nikhil Gupta, Managing Director at Värde Partners, added: "Värde is pleased to support YouLend's efforts to expand its capital base in the U.S., and we look forward to fostering a long-term partnership as YouLend continues to scale its footprint globally. This was an attractive partnership for us, particularly as YouLend operates in a market we know well, having ourselves financed numerous fintech payment processing platforms over the years." The agreement underscores YouLend's continued investment in the U.S. market. By deepening its funding capacity and operational infrastructure, the company is well-positioned to scale partner relationships and extend financing to a broader base of American small businesses.
