The story

Founded in 2006 as a Romanian non-banking financial institution focused on factoring for SMEs, Next Capital established itself as the market leader in that niche. Regulated by the National Bank of Romania and a founding member of the Romanian Factoring Association, the company has expanded its product set beyond factoring to include bridge loans and collection services. The partnership with Mambu signals a technology modernization push to launch new lending products on cloud-native infrastructure.
