SumUp has partnered with YouLend to provide the credit.in Germany and France.
YouLend, the leading global embedded finance platform, announces its strategic partnership with Polish payments service operator, Tpay.
YouLend, the leading global embedded financing platform, reports that a growing number of UK SMEs are turning to embedded financing to secure vital capital ahead of the most important sales period of the year—Black Friday and Christmas. YouLend data reveals a 30% surge in financing applications leading up to Black Friday in 2024, with ecommerce platforms being the main driver of this jump, illustrating the growing demand for flexible financing options at the point-of-need.As the festive season approaches, many UK small businesses face significant challenges, including inventory shortages, understaffing, and rising costs. These obstacles often prevent SMEs from fully benefitting from the year-end sales surge, even as 72% of consumers plan to shop with small businesses during the holiday season. The pressure is ever more pronounced for e-commerce businesses that are overwhelmed with soaring demand and operational pressure.For instance, during Black Friday weekend in 2023, UK shoppers spent an estimated £13.3 billion—a 7.3% increase in sales. Despite this, many businesses were unprepared for the seasonal rush and lacked the capital needed to fully leverage the increased demand.Looking ahead, embedded finance is emerging as a true lifeline for SMEs. Small businesses operating on platforms that already offer integrated financing solutions can quickly secure fast and convenient capital that enables them to stock up on inventory, launch marketing campaigns, and better manage cash flow
Dojo, a leading provider of payment technology, has joined forces with global embedded financing platform YouLend to introduce flexible, business-friendly financing to its Spanish customers.Thanks to this partnership, Dojo customers can access personalised financing options, empowering them to navigate cash flow challenges or invest in business growth. YouLend’s AI-powered platform analyses key business metrics to offer financing that aligns with the individual needs of each SME.Dojo customers can apply for funding between €3,000 and €100,000, with minimal requirements: businesses must have been operating for at least 3 months and generate more than €1,000 in monthly sales through Dojo’s card machines. Repayment is streamlined, with financing repaid as a fixed percentage of future sales, automatically adjusting based on the business’s revenue flow.This partnership reflects Dojo’s commitment to helping its customers achieve greater growth and scalability while maintaining financial stability. It’s a tailored solution aimed at SMEs and startups, most of whom often struggle to secure financing through traditional means.“More businesses are telling us about the challenges they face when investing in digital transformation to secure their financial future. This partnership provides SMEs with the tools to keep advancing without worrying about their financial footing,” said Jesús Molina, Head of Partners at Dojo Spain.Ariam Rodríguez Pou, Country Head for YouLend Spain, adds: “We’ve been partners with Dojo in the UK since 2020, and we’re thrilled to extend our collaboration to Spain. This partnership reflects the strong demand from Spanish small businesses for fast, flexible, and affordable working capital to invest and take their business to new heights
