Capital on Tap, the leading business credit card and spend management platform trusted by over 200,000 businesses, today announced the expansion of its partnership with Plaid, a data network powering the digital financial ecosystem, to the United Kingdom. Building on their successful collaboration in the US market since January 2023, this move will enable Capital on Tap to leverage Plaid's world-class open banking infrastructure to elevate the lending experience for UK small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
"We're excited to extend our partnership with Plaid into the UK," said Damian Brychcy, CEO of Capital on Tap. "By integrating Plaid's cutting-edge open banking capabilities, we can provide our SME customers with faster, more efficient access to funding that propels their growth and success. This seamless integration has already streamlined our lending process in the US, and we're excited to bring those same benefits to businesses across Britain."
The Plaid integration delivers a powerful suite of advantages for Capital on Tap and its customers, including:
- Streamlined onboarding via secure open banking connectivity, allowing businesses to link accounts quickly and safely
- Smoother funding through extensive coverage of over 12,000 financial institutions
- Enhanced credit decisioning with advanced analytics for precise, personalised underwriting
"Prioritising customer experience is at the forefront of everything we do," added Brychcy. "With Plaid's integration, we're able to streamline onboarding and enhance credit decisioning for an even smoother customer journey."
Brian Dammeir, Head of Europe at Plaid said, “SMEs are the backbone of the UK economy. We’re delighted to play our part in helping Capital on Tap make it easier for SMEs to seek mission-critical funding.”
Capital on Tap's expansion of its Plaid partnership to the UK ushers in a new era of automated and insightful lending solutions for British small businesses.
