About Pipe
What is Pipe?
Pipe is an embedded financial operating system that lets platforms, payment facilitators, and marketplaces offer smart financial tools—like capital and cash flow management—directly to their customers. With a single API integration, businesses can launch revenue-generating financial products without becoming a bank.
Problem it solves
Many SMBs struggle with cash flow gaps that slow growth, but traditional financing is slow, complex, and off-platform. Pipe solves this by enabling platforms to embed capital solutions that keep customers’ cash flowing, improve loyalty, and reduce churn. It turns a platform into a financial hub, so customers don’t need to leave for financing.
Who is it for?
Pipe is built for vertical SaaS companies, payment facilitators, and marketplaces that want to add embedded financing or working capital tools for their SMB customers. It’s ideal for platforms with strong transaction data but not for standalone businesses looking for a simple line of credit—Pipe is a B2B2B tool.
Real use cases
Vertical SaaS providers use Pipe to offer industry-specific capital products based on their risk models—e.g., a restaurant management platform might provide short-term loans to restaurant owners. Payment facilitators embed financing to boost gross payment volume (GPV) and create new revenue. Marketplaces increase share of wallet by letting sellers access capital based on sales history, improving retention and daily engagement.
