Founders & story · from Kriya’s own dossier

Founded 2011 as MarketInvoice, a pioneer of online invoice finance for UK SMEs. Rebranded to MarketFinance in 2019 as it added business loans, then to Kriya in 2023 as the company pivoted toward embedded B2B BNPL ('PayLater'), now available as a native payment method in Stripe checkout. In October 2025, UK digital bank Allica Bank acquired Kriya 100%, integrating its embedded credit and payments stack into a chartered bank.
