    Capital on Tap boosts SME lending

    UK-based FinTech Capital on Tap has secured an additional $882 million in funding, expanding its Master Trust facility to $ 1.63 billion. This follows a previous $747 million facility arranged with global banking giants BNP Paribas and Citi, as reported by FinTech Futures.

Capital on Tap, known for its rapid credit approval process has already supported over 200,000 SMEs since 2016, providing flexible financing solutions tailored to their needs. This new capital injection will fuel further expansion, particularly in the US, where the firm launched its credit card services in 2021 after securing a $100 million credit facility from Atalaya. 

    Capital on Tap has provided over $14 billion in funding to more than 200,000 small businesses in the UK and US. The company offers a suite of physical, virtual, and travel credit cards, featuring 1% cashback on all purchases. In addition to the funding, Capital on Tap recently partnered with ClearBank to launch a business instant savings account, enhancing its embedded banking services.
