finmid provides embedded lending infrastructure for B2B platforms to offer financing to SMB merchants. Its API-based lending platform lets partners add capital and payment solutions, such as cash advances and B2B payments, with a few lines of code, while finmid handles underwriting, risk, and regulatory compliance. This makes it easy for platforms to launch financing products with minimal development work, often delivering funding decisions within 24 hours by using real-time data from the partner ecosystem. The company differentiates itself by focusing on embedded finance for SMEs and managing complex financial operations for platforms, rather than competing as a standalone lender; its goal is to close Europe’s SME financing gap by helping platforms create new revenue streams and improve merchant growth.
