Finmid provides embedded lending infrastructure for B2B platforms and marketplaces to offer financing to SMB merchants. Its API-based product lets partners integrate capital and payment solutions with a few lines of code, while it handles underwriting, risk, and regulatory compliance for fast funding (often within 24 hours) using real-time platform data. It differentiates itself by focusing on embedded finance for SMEs and handling complex financial operations for platforms rather than competing as a consumer lender. Its goal is to close Europe’s SME financing gap by helping platforms create new revenue streams, boost merchant retention, and provide quick access to capital across 30+ countries.

Fast and simple access to capital has regularly come up in our talks with merchants. That’s why today, we’re excited to introduce Wolt Capital. This initiative is designed to support the success and growth of merchants, giving them the opportunity to access transparent financing.”Traditional bank financing often has stringent requirements that leave many entrepreneurs without options. Wolt Capital changes this by offering revenue-based transparent financing to merchants with a proven sales record on the Wolt platform
