Instead of buying or leasing, members pay a single fixed monthly fee that covers insurance, financing, registration, taxes, and maintenance, with fuel/charging billed separately. Cars are delivered to customers’ doors and can be used by individuals or B2B clients, making car access flexible without ownership hassles. The company differentiates itself with a multi-brand, all-inclusive subscription plus doorstep delivery and a focus on sustainability, including carbon offsetting, with goals to grow its EV share and expand into the U.S. East Coast.

↓ -1%FINN, Germany's leading car subscription platform, has secured up to €1 billion through a new ABS financing program, "ABS II," with support from global banks like Citi and Jefferies. This funding will help expand FINN's fleet in Germany and Europe. The ABS is secured by the car fleet, enabling FINN to purchase new vehicles. The company, which has raised €250 million in equity, currently operates over 25,000 vehicles and serves both private and business customers.
In the first half of 2025, over €5.7 billion was invested in startups, including major investments in companies like Finn, Helsing, Amboss, Quantum Systems, Scalable Capital, and Isar Aerospace. Notably, Finn, an auto subscription provider, secured up to €1 billion from banks including Citi and Jefferies, and Avellinia Capital. Helsing received €600 million from investors like Prima Materia and Lightspeed Ventures. Amboss raised €240 million, valuing the company at approximately €800 million.
According to the Tech.eu database, European tech companies secured €6.1 billion in funding in February 2025. Compared to the previous years, this marks a 30 per cent decline from the same month in 2024 but a 70 per cent increase from the same month in 2023, reflecting both market challenges and long-term growth. Four of the ten largest funding rounds in February 2025 were structured as debt financing instead of traditional equity. These funds primarily backed initiatives like fleet expansion, national digitalization, and enhanced connectivity projects, signaling a strategic shift in investment approaches. Fintech remained the leading sector, securing €1.2 billion in funding and five of the ten largest deals in February 2025. Its continued strength reflects investor confidence in digital payments, embedded finance, and alternative lending, which continue to drive innovation in Europe’s tech ecosystem
Klarna, the AI-powered payments and commerce network, has launched its flexible payment methods into the car subscription market thanks to a new agreement with Munich-based car subscription start-up FINN. Thanks to the agreement, FINN’s German customers can now pay their monthly car subscription fee using Klarna’s innovative “monthly invoice” product, and can use Klarna’s payment methods to settle the final invoice when they return the cars.“Tailored payment methods are crucial for high-priced goods,” says Maximilian Wühr Co-Founder & CEO of FINN. “Klarna’s seamless integration ensures flexibility and simplicity for our customers—without disrupting our operations.”FINN, which launched in Germany in 2021, offers consumers a single monthly payment which covers the car, insurance, maintenance and roadside assistance. Car subscription is a booming market and a popular new way to pay for car ownership. Globally, the market is expected to be worth €8.5bn in 2025, and is growing at 33% a year to reach €85bn by 2033.“At Klarna, we are always looking for ways to help our customers save time, money and worry less about their finances. With this agreement, we’re bringing our flexible and intuitive payment solutions into the fast-growing car subscription market, empowering drivers to manage their payments effortlessly in the Klarna app,” said Nico Schenck, Head of Germany at Klarna
