Our customers, primarily small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and freelancers, often face challenges with traditional banking, including cumbersome administrative tasks and fragmented financial management. That's why we developed an all-in-one financial B2B solution designed to simplify their operations. Our platform integrates essential banking functions, accounting, financial management, and invoicing into a seamless, mobile-first experience. We understand that entrepreneurs need to focus on their core business, not get bogged down in financial admin. Finom's services are designed to save them time and money by providing fast onboarding and a comprehensive suite of online financial tools.

Our customers benefit from features like multi-banking, allowing them to connect and manage multiple bank accounts in one place, streamlined e-invoicing that helps them get paid faster, international payments, and robust accounting integrations. We are committed to providing a secure and reliable platform, working with licensed partners like Treezor in France and Solaris in Germany and Italy to offer local IBANs and ensure regulatory compliance. Having secured significant funding, including a €50 million Series B round in early 2024, Finom is in a strong position to continue its growth and expand its services across Europe. We are dedicated to empowering entrepreneurs by making financial management as easy as using a smartphone, helping them to thrive in the European economy. Our goal is to become the leading financial operating system for SMEs and freelancers, offering innovative solutions like AI-powered accounting and on-demand funding to meet their evolving needs.
