“Can iwoca become the financial OS for UK SMEs by layering lending, B2B payments (BNPL), and card products on top of its established credit infrastructure and partner distribution network?”
Founded in 2012 as a direct online lender to UK SMEs, iwoca expanded its distribution model significantly by building an embedded finance partner network, routing nearly 30% of loan applications through accounting software and neobank partners by 2021. It then extended into B2B payments with iwocaPay, a buy-now-pay-later product for trade customers that integrates with e-commerce platforms (Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce) and accounting software (QuickBooks, Xero). Most recently, iwoca launched a branded business credit card issued via Enfuce, moving from pure lending into broader SME financial services.
Iwoca's cards are issued through Enfuce.
Iwoca integrates with Xero and QuickBooks.
