March 25, 2026 SumUp is partnering with Upvest to let merchants invest idle cash via in-app money market funds, turning everyday banking into an investment platform Global fintech SumUp has shared a new integrated investment feature that lets small businesses earn on their idle deposits - showing just how its platform has grown from payments to full-spectrum financial management. The company is partnering with Berlin-based Upvest to deliver the service through an API-first model, enabling SumUp's four million merchants to invest directly in euro-denominated money market funds starting with as little as €1 (US$1.16). Initially launching in Germany this month, the functionality will roll out across Europe and the UK in the coming months. The goal, SumUp says, is to give merchants an accessible way to grow surplus cash without complexity or exposure to high-risk investments. Embedded wealth management to support small businesses. By adding investment options to its existing business banking suite, SumUp is blurring traditional boundaries between payments, banking and investment. The move reflects a broader trend in embedded finance - empowering SMEs to manage all financial operations within one digital platform. The new investing feature sits natively within the SumUp app, where merchants already manage day-to-day transactions, card payments and cash advances. Users can now allocate part of their available balance into money market funds - low-risk instruments designed to preserve capital and provide liquidity - without leaving the platform. Behind the scenes, Upvest's investment API powers the full stack of infrastructure, from order execution and custody to regulatory reporting and tax processing. "Small businesses are under constant pressure to set money aside for a rainy day. Yet too often this money sits idle in deposits, when it could be earning interest through investments," says Felix Lamouroux, SVP Global Banking at SumUp. "That's why Fintech Magazine is thrilled to be partnering with Upvest to help build investing into the everyday banking experience for small business owners. "By bringing simple, low-risk investment options onto the SumUp platform, merchants can build wealth on their existing deposits all within a trusted, familiar environment." This emphasises how, for SumUp, the partnership is rooted in a clear mission: to help small businesses build financial resilience and grow wealth over time. The approach not only modernises SumUp's banking ecosystem but also gives SMEs access to opportunities that were once exclusive to larger corporations or specialist financial institutions. Ensuring innovation is infrastructure-first. Upvest's involvement further drives home how API-driven investment infrastructure is transforming capital markets access. Its platform handles the operational and regulatory complexities - execution, settlement, custody and compliance - behind the scenes, freeing partners like SumUp to focus on user experience. Martin Kassing, Co-Founder and CEO of Upvest, says: "Fintech Magazine is proud to be working with SumUp to seamlessly integrate investing capabilities into everyday business banking. "Powered by Upvest's Investment API, SumUp can now offer a best-in-class investment proposition for merchants to grow their wealth. "This partnership shows how modern investment infrastructure can make capital markets investing accessible and operationally simple at scale." Upvest already powers investment features for several high-growth fintechs, including Revolut, N26, Webull and Raisin. Its collaboration with SumUp shows how the company's infrastructure model can extend beyond consumer finance and into the realm of small business banking. Company portals.
SumUp partners with Upvest to launch in-app investing, enabling merchants to grow their cash with money market funds. WHY THIS MATTERS SumUp's move into in-app investing reflects a broader convergence between payments, banking and wealth management - particularly for SMEs. Small businesses often hold idle cash for liquidity, but traditional banking rarely offers meaningful returns without added complexity. By embedding access to money market funds directly into its app, SumUp is turning business accounts into yield-generating tools without requiring merchants to leave the platform. Global fintech SumUp today announces the launch of a new in-app investing feature, giving merchants a simple and accessible way to grow their business funds directly within the SumUp app. By partnering with Europe's leading investment infrastructure provider Upvest, SumUp can now offer merchants a simple and accessible way to build wealth on the SumUp platform. Starting in Germany in March, with a wider European and UK rollout to follow, merchants can now allocate their balance into highly competitive, euro-denominated money market funds. With fractional investing, merchants can earn interest and make more of their money. Money market funds invest in short-term, high-quality debt instruments and are designed to preserve capital and provide liquidity. By integrating this investment option into its business banking offering, SumUp gives merchants a straightforward way to potentially earn returns on surplus cash, without complex processes or additional providers. The new investing feature is seamlessly embedded into the SumUp ecosystem, allowing merchants to manage payments, banking and investments all in one place. Behind the scenes, Upvest's investment infrastructure handles order execution and settlement, custody, regulatory reporting and tax processing, thus reducing operational complexity and enabling SumUp to focus on delivering a digital-first and cost-efficient experience. With this launch, SumUp continues to expand its financial services ecosystem, helping merchants not only run their businesses, but grow them. Felix Lamouroux, SVP Global Banking at SumUp said: Small businesses are under constant pressure to set money aside for a rainy day. Yet too often this money sits idle in deposits, when it could be earning interest through investments. That's why we're thrilled to be partnering with Upvest to help build investing into the everyday banking experience for small business owners. By bringing simple, low-risk investment options onto the SumUp platform, merchants can build wealth on their existing deposits all within a trusted, familiar environment.

FF NEWS TAKE Fintech is no longer just about moving money - it's about making money work harder. SumUp's latest launch shows how platforms are evolving into full financial ecosystems for SMEs. By embedding investing into everyday business banking, fintechs are blurring the line between cash management and wealth creation. Expect more players to follow, as the race shifts from offering services to owning the entire financial lifecycle of small businesses.

SumUp partners with Sage to support UK digital tax reporting. By vriti gothi. March 10, 2026 SumUp has expanded into the accounting technology segment by launching a new embedded solution designed to help sole traders comply with the UK's upcoming digital tax reporting requirements. The offering, developed in partnership with Sage Group, integrates accounting capabilities directly within the SumUp platform and is aimed at helping small businesses prepare for the implementation of Making Tax Digital for Income Tax rules set to take effect on 6 April 2026. Under the new regulation introduced by HM Revenue and Customs, sole traders and landlords earning more than £50,000 annually will be required to maintain digital records of income and expenses and submit quarterly updates rather than filing a single annual Self Assessment return. Industry research cited by Sage indicates that around 70% of sole traders remain unprepared for the transition, with many still relying on spreadsheets or manual bookkeeping. Through the collaboration, SumUp is embedding Sage's accounting infrastructure and AI-enabled transaction categorisation tools into its merchant platform. The integration allows transaction data from payments, invoices, banking activity, and expenses captured within the SumUp ecosystem to be automatically organised and converted into compliant quarterly tax submissions. Unlike many bank-led solutions that primarily track digital payments, the platform is designed to capture a broader range of revenue streams, including cash transactions, reducing the need for manual entry. Sole traders will be able to manage their tax reporting process within the SumUp web interface, with income and expense data recorded and categorised in real time. The system also enables users to store receipts alongside expense transactions, generate estimated tax liabilities, and submit reports directly to HMRC. Businesses migrating to the platform can import historical banking data to support the transition to digital reporting. Gordon Stuart, SVP, FinTech & Embedded Services at Sage, comments, "Making Tax Digital for Income Tax represents a significant shift for sole traders, and too many are still unprepared for the change ahead. By embedding Sage's accounting and tax capabilities, including AI powered autocategorisation of transactions, directly into the SumUp interface and experience, we're removing complexity where small businesses already manage their money. This collaboration brings income tax reporting into everyday workflows, helping sole traders stay on top of their obligations without needing specialist knowledge or additional software. It's a clear example of how embedded accounting technology can meet small businesses where they are and make compliance simpler, more intuitive and more accessible." The launch signals a broader trend in FinTech toward embedded financial management tools, as payment platforms increasingly integrate accounting, tax, and compliance capabilities to deepen relationships with small business customers.

SumUp has launched a free accounting solution powered by Sage's embedded technology to help UK sole traders comply with Making Tax Digital for Income Tax regulations, which take effect on 6 April 2026. The new rules require sole traders earning over £50,000 annually to record income and expenses digitally and submit quarterly tax reports to HMRC. Research by Sage shows 70% of sole traders are unprepared for the changes, with many still using manual methods for Self Assessment. SumUp's solution integrates accounting capabilities directly into its platform, automatically capturing and categorising all revenue streams, including cash transactions, without manual input. The service allows sole traders to manage Income Tax obligations, prepare quarterly HMRC submissions, and estimate tax liabilities in real time, all within SumUp's interface. Users can also import historical bank data for smooth transition to digital reporting.
