The story
Founded 2015 (as Methreesixty/Serviceranker) to manage short-term rentals directly, Lavanda pivoted into pure B2B SaaS — a property management platform for institutional multifamily and PBSA (student accommodation) operators. Its embedded finance footprint is thin: the platform focuses on AR/invoicing and ERP integrations rather than issuing payments, banking, or lending itself. Lavanda uses Airwallex for its own corporate treasury, not as a product embedded for customers.
