The story

Founded in 2021 in Denmark, Flatpay entered the market with a simple value proposition: flat-rate card processing for small and medium-sized merchants, removing complex pricing structures. The company expanded geographically across Nordic markets and embedded a capital product (Flatpay Capital) to deepen its merchant relationships beyond payments into working capital, using Liberis as the revenue-based finance engine under the hood. The Series D raise signals aggressive European expansion ambitions.
