In brief: Alma wants to accelerate in business financing

The fintech Alma, which specializes in fractional and deferred payments, has just announced that it has validated the obtaining of a double approval as a payment institution and a financing company from the ACPR.

It has also set up a securitization fund (FCT) that should enable it to raise 200 million euros within two years to feed it. This arrangement should enable it to reach €2 billion in outstanding loans within two years.

The FinTech's merchant clients will also be able to benefit from new services such as a payment solution for their end customers in 10 to 12 times.

This type of FCT is a first in France.
