Embedded finance for retailers, marketplaces and platforms

Offer credit and accounts under your brand. Without becoming a bank.

Let your customers pay over time at checkout, open an account or send a payment, right inside your app, website or WhatsApp. A licensed partner bank takes care of the regulated side; you keep your brand and your customers.

One retailer: 500K loan requests and 30K new accounts, under its own brand.

Why businesses add finance

01

Close more sales.

Customers who can pay over time don't have to walk away at checkout.

02

Keep customers coming back.

When their account, payments and loans live in your app, they have a reason to open it every week, not just when they shop.

03

Know your customers better.

See how they buy and how they pay, in one place, and make them better offers.

What you can offer your customers

All of it under your brand, in your app, on your website and over WhatsApp. Start with one product and add the rest when it makes sense.

Pay over time at checkout

Instalments at the moment of purchase, online, in your app or over WhatsApp.

Personal loans

Loans they can request from your app, with a decision and payout without paperwork.

Accounts and savings

An account with your brand where they keep money, save toward goals and see their balance live.

Payments

Transfers, bill payments and QR payments, right from your app.

See all products

You bring the customers. We bring the rest.

Offering financial products takes three things: customers, a licensed institution, and the technology to run it all. You already have the first one.

You

Your brand, your customers and the places you sell. You decide which products to offer.

A licensed partner bank

The license, the balance sheet and regulatory compliance, from our network of partner banks.

Cowally

The technology: customer apps, back office, core banking, identity checks and payment connections, plus the team that sets it up and runs it with you.

Your financial products

Pay over time, accounts, savings and payments, under your brand

Your financial products

For banks, lenders & fintechs

From checkout to the last payment

01

Choose to pay over time

The option appears right at checkout, with the monthly amount.

02

Confirm identity

A quick identity check, with no paperwork and no branch visit.

03

Get a decision

Your approval rules run, and the customer sees the answer in the same session.

04

Complete the purchase

The purchase goes through and the plan is saved in the customer's account.

05

Pay instalments

Reminders in the app and on WhatsApp, and payment in one tap.

06

Come back

Their account, payments and next pre-approved offer live in your app.

Your team sees everything, in one place

Your commercial and finance teams get their own back office, with every application, loan and payment live, and no spreadsheets in between.

  1. Applications

    Every request and its status, as it happens.

  2. Approval rules

    Decide who qualifies and for how much; changes need a second person's approval and are logged.

  3. Loan book and collections

    Who is paying, who is late, and collection lists ranked by likelihood of payment.

  4. Reports

    Sales financed, accounts opened and payments received, ready to export.
