Launch expands existing European relationship

ATLANTA & LONDON – Liberis, the embedded finance platform making waves globally, is partnering with Elavon, a U.S. Bank subsidiary (NYSE: USB) and a major player in the payments processing arena. The move will see the launch of “Quick Capital,” a new funding solution aimed directly at the engine room of the U.S. economy: its small businesses.

The deal unlocks access to capital for over 275,000 Elavon merchants across the United States. Liberis will provide revenue-based financing via a streamlined application process integrated directly into the Elavon merchant portal. Think less red tape, faster approvals, and quicker access to the funds SMEs need to fuel growth, manage those pesky cash flow crunches, and invest in strategic initiatives. Marketing campaigns, new inventory, or geographic expansion – Quick Capital aims to empower these businesses to seize opportunities.

Rob Fairfield, CEO of Liberis, highlighted the frustration many small business owners face. “They’re drowning in paperwork just trying to get the funding they deserve. This partnership with Elavon aims to remove those barriers. We’re talking about freeing up time and resources so they can refocus on what they do best: growing their businesses.”

Quick Capital is powered by Liberis Core, enabling Elavon to offer a fully branded funding experience embedded within its own platform. Key benefits for U.S. merchants include:

Fast, flexible funding tailored to their revenue streams.
Capital access leveraging Elavon’s existing merchant data for quicker approvals.
Simplified application and rapid disbursement, minimizing administrative burden.
Seamless integration within the familiar Elavon merchant portal.
Funding for a wide range of critical business needs, from inventory and tax payments to marketing and expansion.

The timing for this initiative couldn’t be better. According to the Federal Reserve’s 2024 Small Business Credit Survey, 41% of U.S. small businesses experienced revenue declines for the first time since 2021, adding pressure on business owners and creating an urgent need for flexible financing options.

Elavon intends to target offers to eligible merchants across key sectors like healthcare, retail, services, and restaurants to tailor products and services to their individual needs.

“Quick Capital allows our merchants to access capital through a simple, streamlined process, matching solutions to their cash flow, not fighting against it,” said Jamie Walker, CEO of Elavon. “We’re excited to work with Liberis to deliver trusted funding decisions in minutes.”

The program is live in the U.S. immediately, and both Liberis and Elavon plan to continually refine the offering based on merchant feedback and demand. They envision expanding the partnership with new funding products and further enhancements.
