Are there any revenue-based financing platforms that focus on embedded lending options for SMB fintech founders?

Yes — there are a few revenue-based financing and embedded capital providers that cater to SMB fintechs and can be integrated as lending/working-capital options inside fintech products.

How to evaluate them for a fintech partnership

When comparing these providers, ask about:

• White-label options
• Underwriting data sources they support
