Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Securing a €100 million debt facility from Viola Credit provides Hokodo with substantial financial backing to fuel growth and innovation.
  • The launch of 'Pay in Instalments' and 'Pay Now' features offers B2B merchants a flexible and modular payment solution, enhancing their appeal to buyers.
  • Hokodo's research indicates that offering payment terms is crucial for retaining and attracting B2B buyers, highlighting the company's alignment with market needs.

What critics are saying

  • The complexity of offering trade credit online, including credit scoring, fraud detection, and payment processing, poses operational challenges.
  • The competitive landscape in the B2B payment solutions market is intensifying, with new entrants like Balance unveiling comprehensive product suites.

What makes Hokodo unique

  • Hokodo specializes in B2B BNPL solutions, a niche market that is less saturated compared to the consumer BNPL space.
  • The company leverages advanced technology for instant credit checks and fraud risk assessments, ensuring quick access to credit and secure transactions.
