Our take
Founded in 2021, Finmid is a financial services infrastructure provider, built to support other businesses with their financial products and services. The company focuses on simplicity for its customers, building a variety of products that amount to one integration for each company.
The capabilities of Finmid's offering are broad. The infrastructure supports companies in building a host of solutions such as buy-now-pay-later and AR management, while the company also supplies invoice and trade financing products. On top of this, its capital offerings enable users to offer cash advances to their merchants.
