Fabrick has announced an agreement to acquire finAPI , aiming to drive forward the innovation of European businesses by enabling new Embedded Finance service models. According to the announcement, the transaction was carried out through an agreement with SCHUFA Holding AG, under which Fabrick acquired 75% of finAPI shares.

The remaining 25% of the shares will stay with finAPI's two founders. By entering the DACH region, Fabrick seeks to expanding its presence beyond Italy, Spain, and the UK, marking a step forward. With a collective customer base of more than 800 clients and based on the combined total volume of account-to-account (A2A) payments processed by Fabrick and finAPI in 2023, the total payment volume exceeds 65 billion euros, with over 11 billion API calls.

These figures are significant because payment transactions and their digital evolution are crucial for developing new service models in the B2B and B2B2C sectors.

As a result, they are increasingly adopting Embedded Finance models to enhance economic efficiency within their organisations while providing their customers with a seamless payment experience.
