In conjunction with the funding, the company is introducing iZettle Advance, a new way for small businesses across Europe to obtain access to extra capital by getting an advance on future card sales. Users eligible for iZettle Advance will be pre-assessed for financing, with no need for any paperwork. Upon approval, users will see funds deposited within days, and payback occurs automatically as a fraction of card sales and when sales vary, payback varies with it.
Starting today, iZettle Advance will gradually be made available throughout European markets.
