Problem
Small and medium-sized businesses often struggle to access financing through traditional banks, leading them to seek alternative lending options. SaaS platforms, marketplaces, and payment processors lack the infrastructure to efficiently offer lending products to their merchants, missing out on revenue opportunities and deeper merchant relationships.
Solution
Richie AI provides an embedded lending infrastructure that enables SaaS platforms to offer business loans to their merchants. The platform offers a suite of tools, including loan application forms, an application management system, and a private-labeled merchant portal. By integrating Richie AI, platforms can connect their merchants with lenders, provide access to various loan products, and generate ancillary revenue while maintaining control over the lead. The infrastructure allows merchants to save on interest payments through discounted loans, facilitated by data sharing and payment splitting options.
