Founders & story · from Banxware’s own dossier

Banxware launched in 2020 as a Berlin-based embedded lending provider offering SME loans through marketplaces and PSPs. Following the 2025 UniCredit investment, the company is pivoting from a structured-finance lender into a capital-light orchestration layer — matching SMEs inside digital platforms with multiple third-party lenders rather than originating on its own balance sheet. The 2025 departure of co-founder Fabian Heiß coincides with this strategic shift toward AI-underwriting and forward-flow funding.

Latest round: €10M strategic investment from UniCredit (June 2025)
