The story
Founded in 2003, Cameranu grew into one of the largest photography and videography retailers in the Netherlands, reaching €100M turnover and 200 employees with eight stores across the Benelux. The company's embedded finance evolution has centered on improving its checkout payment experience, switching to Mollie as its PSP to support an omnichannel strategy and add new payment methods (In3, Billie, Tap to Pay). Cameranu also offers leasing/financing options on equipment, indicating a consumer lending layer embedded in the retail experience.
