Our take
Swan believes its services can transform a business by adding a financial layer. Swan’s APIs enable European companies to integrate banking services into their own digital product: embedded finance.
While not alone in the fintech industry, the company stands out by squarely targeting SaaS platforms, marketplaces, and other fintechs with its embedded finance products. The company, offering an end-to-end, integrated and multi-product experience coupled with the fact it owns the payment and fraud risk, has garnered the attention of impressive clients including Agricap, Carrefour, Pennylane and Ride.
The company has invested into accelerating its expansion into the European market by developing more banking features that are specialized for a variety of local EU markets and enhancing the platform’s functionality with a self-service offering. Swan is gaining momentum with its expansion efforts and is well set to remain on this path.
