Investment thesis
Finch Capital invests in companies building Europe's independent payments infrastructure, believing the future of European payments runs on bank rails (account-to-account) rather than US-dominated card networks. It sees Europe's heavy dependence on US card networks as both a risk and an opportunity, and backs fintechs that build credit and payment products on account-to-account infrastructure. The firm supports portfolio companies with growth capital and by leveraging its network to arrange debt facilities, aiming to help create stronger, independent European payment networks.
