Veefin's integration into Metalbook's platform will now allow customers with different risk profiles to access financing at competitive rates, leveraging the multiple lenders that are connected to the platform. We have observed a strong interest from other marketplaces seeking similar embedded SCF solutions from us and we will see many such programs in the near future.”
