The model

Financing built into your own offer

Embedded lending means the financing sits where your customer buys. Your customer decides on your offer — and finds the instalment option right next to it.

What you get

  • More closed deals — your customer can pay for your product or service in instalments. The deal no longer fails on the total amount; it becomes a monthly instalment that fits the budget.
  • The full amount to your account, 14 days after successful funding for private customers, 10 days for business customers. You are named as the payee in the loan agreement.
  • No default risk and no dunning — the instalments are a matter between your customer and Cashare.
  • Your brand, your experience — a white-label integration that looks and feels like your own product. From Scale; with Grow under Cashare branding.
  • Fast integration — from the partnership decision to live financing options in just 24 hours on the Grow plan.

What your customer gets

  • Your product or service in instalments, tailored to their needs: an amount to the franc between CHF 1'000 and 1'000'000, a term of 1 to 60 months.
  • The same instalment every month — your customer knows from the start what they pay and can plan for it.
  • An application in a few minutes, online, without paper and without an appointment.
  • Early repayment — your customer can repay the loan in full or in part at any time before the end of the term.
  • Clear figures, full legal compliance: all costs disclosed transparently, the Consumer Credit Act applied in full — with no extra work for you.

No commission — and no cost per loan

Cashare pays you no commission for a referral, and you charge your customer nothing for the financing. What is added to your customer’s interest rate is Cashare’s platform fee. Your benefit lies in the business itself: the order happens, and you receive the full amount instead of instalments — or nothing at all.

How it works

From your quote to your money

Six steps — your part is at the beginning and at the end.

01

You give your customer the link to your landing page · you

Embedded Lending gives you your own landing page with a personal link — under Cashare branding with Grow, with your logo and company name from Scale. You put the link on your website, on the quote, into the sales conversation or as a QR code on the invoice.

→ Illustration: your landing page
02

Your customer calculates and applies · customer

On your landing page your customer sees the interest range, picks directly from your fixed-price catalogue from Scale and sees the monthly instalment. Then registration, purpose, amount, term. Because the application comes in through your link, it is automatically assigned to you — permanently, including later financings for the same customer.

→ Illustration: your landing page
03

Cashare assesses creditworthiness · Cashare

Our credit team assesses the application and sets the rating. The credit decision rests exclusively with Cashare — required by law, and one less responsibility for you.

04

The loan is funded · Cashare

The project goes to the marketplace and investors fund it. You do not have to do anything.

05

After 14 days the payout reaches you · Cashare

The whole loan amount to your account, 14 days after successful funding — that is your customer’s right of withdrawal: 14 days for private individuals — under the Consumer Credit Act up to CHF 80,000, above that under the general terms. One-off precondition: completed onboarding and a registered IBAN. Legal entities have a 10-day right of withdrawal; there the payout period is 10 days.

06

You deliver, your customer pays in instalments · you

Your work is paid for. The monthly instalments go from your customer to Cashare — that no longer concerns you.

Steps 01 and 02 · Your landing pageThis is where your link leads. From Scale your logo, your company name in the headline, your fixed-price catalogue and the interest range — the customer chooses, sees the monthly instalment and submits the application right away. Sample data.

Calculator

What your customer pays per month

The argument in a sales conversation is not the total price, it is the instalment. Sample calculation within an effective range of 4.4 – 9.9 %.

CHF
Duration
Your customer’s monthly instalment
CHF 523 – 553
24 months · effective annual rate 4.4 % to 9.9 %
Your customer’s total interest cost 551 – 1'279
Total price including interest 12'551 – 13'279
You receive 12'000

Non-binding sample calculation (annuity). Actual figures depend on the amount, duration and interest rate of the loan; the creditworthiness assessment and the credit decision rest with Cashare. Important legal notice: granting credit is prohibited if it leads to the over-indebtedness of the consumer (statutory information pursuant to Art. 3 UCA).

Guarantee · option from Scale

Better terms for your customers — with your guarantee

If, as a legal entity, you guarantee the loans you refer, the interest rate is no longer negotiated on the marketplace but agreed as a fixed rate for you — from 4.9 %, regardless of the individual customer’s rating. That makes your offer cheaper and more predictable for your customers.

How it works

  • A separate framework agreement between you and Cashare governs the guarantee — not your customer’s loan agreement.
  • From your financial figures Cashare derives a maximum amount, the Gross Debt Capacity (GDC): the total amount you can guarantee. It is reassessed annually.
  • The maximum amount is only used up by the outstanding balances of the guaranteed loans — every instalment returns capacity.
  • You receive a register of all guaranteed loans and their status.
  • We continue collections for you. Once you have paid, our collections team keeps pursuing the outstanding debt with the customer — from then on on your behalf. Whatever comes in goes to you; collection costs incurred from that point are charged to you.

What you should know

  • Your customer remains fully liable for their debt; the guarantee protects Cashare and the investors.
  • The guarantee does not appear in your customer’s loan agreement and is not reported to ZEK as collateral.
  • If a loan defaults after unsuccessful dunning, Cashare claims the outstanding balance from you, with a 20-day payment period.
GDC utilisation in the partner portal: amount used, approved GDC, available capacity and number of guaranteed borrowers

Guarantee option: availability depends on credit quality and on your company’s Gross Debt Capacity (GDC). It is granted after an individual review by Cashare under the partnership agreement.

Comparison

Why embedded lending from Cashare?

BNPL and factoring were built for other markets. BNPL suits small consumer purchases — not training courses from CHF 5'000 or renovations from CHF 20'000. Factoring creates administrative work and can increase your default risk. Cashare Embedded Lending is different: you receive the full purchase price in a single payment, 14 days after successful funding (10 days for business customers), pay no fee per order and have nothing to handle — while your customers repay flexibly over up to 60 months.

Honestly

When we fit — and when we do not

Financing that does not fit your business costs both sides time. Hence the boundaries up front.

We fit if …

  • your invoices start at around CHF 1'000 and sometimes reach five or six figures.
  • your customers may need more than three years to pay — up to 60 months.
  • you also want to finance business customers.
  • you want to appear under your own brand, not a payment provider’s.
  • you do not want to give up margin per order.

We do not fit if …

  • you want to finance baskets below CHF 1'000 — invoice-purchase and BNPL providers are built for that.
  • you need a decision in seconds at checkout: with us a credit team reviews the case and the project is funded via the marketplace.
  • your customer must pay interest-free and you want to carry the cost: that is what BNPL providers offer, for a fee per transaction. With us, 0 % models exist only in the Custom plan, as a specifically agreed sales promotion.
  • you are looking for a ready-made shop integration for online checkout. Our route runs through your landing page.

Onboarding

What we need to get started

With Grow onboarding starts immediately; with the other plans it usually takes only a few days once the documents are complete.

Your company
Commercial register entry, company name and business address. That address later becomes your billing address.
Contact person
One authorised signatory as the main contact.
Identification
Copy of an ID document, Form K on beneficial ownership, a CHF 5 transfer from your company account and a copy of an invoice confirming the address.
Bank details
The IBAN the payouts go to. Without an IBAN on file, no loan is paid out.
Your logo
For the landing page, as an image file or an image URL. With Grow it appears on a page under Cashare branding; from Scale the page carries your branding throughout.
Training
From the “Scale Plus” plan there is annual training on due-diligence duties for everyone who identifies customers.

Where the line is drawn

You run the conversation, you know your customer, you submit the application. The credit decision and the go-live are made exclusively by Cashare — after the creditworthiness assessment and with a rating. That applies to every tier.

What is embedded lending?

Embedded lending means the financing is built directly into your offer: your customer finds the instalment option where they buy. They apply on your landing page, the loan comes from Cashare. You receive the full invoice amount, your customer pays the instalments to Cashare.

What does Embedded Lending cost?

Four plans: Grow free (CHF 0 setup, CHF 0 per month), Scale CHF 1'999 and CHF 259 per month, Scale Plus CHF 2'499 and CHF 299 per month, Custom from CHF 6'000 and CHF 499 per month. There are no additional costs per loan; only in the guarantee model are collection cases charged at cost.

How long until I get my money?

If your customer is a private individual, the payout happens 14 days after successful funding: they can withdraw from the loan agreement within 14 days — under the Consumer Credit Act up to CHF 80,000, above that under the general terms. After that the whole amount arrives in a single payment in your account. If your customer is a legal entity, the right of withdrawal is 10 days and the payout period accordingly 10 days.

How is this different from BNPL providers?

BNPL providers are built for small consumer purchases: typically CHF 50 to 2'000, terms up to 12 months, and you pay 3–6 % per transaction out of your margin. With Cashare you pay nothing per order; the cost is carried by your customer through the interest rate. In return we finance amounts from CHF 1'000 to 1'000'000, durations up to 60 months and business customers too. If you want to offer your customer 0 % and carry the cost yourself, that is possible in the Custom plan as an agreed sales promotion.

And how is this different from factoring?

Factoring solves a different problem. There you sell your outstanding receivable to a factor and receive the amount less a deduction; your customer gets no instalment option, their payment terms stay the same, and reporting receivables and reconciling payments stay your job. Factoring helps your cash flow when customers pay late. Cashare addresses the case before that: your customer cannot or does not want to pay the amount in one go. They pay instalments to Cashare, you receive the full amount 14 days after successful funding for a private individual — with no deduction and no admin afterwards.

Do I receive a commission?

No. Cashare pays no remuneration for a referral, and you charge your customer nothing for the financing. The mark-up on the nominal rate is Cashare’s platform fee. Your benefit is the order and the full payment.

Can business customers finance too?

Yes. With Construction Financing we finance business orders — instalments for the client, payment up front for you. Many checkout-focused providers exclude corporate customers.

What happens if my customer’s application is declined?

You incur no cost and no effort. Not every application is approved — the creditworthiness assessment is required by law and the decision rests with Cashare. In the project overview you see the status of each application, declines included, and in the cockpit the quality of your submissions over time.

Do I carry a default risk?

Not in the standard model without a guarantee: instalments and dunning are a matter between your customer and Cashare. If, from the Scale plan onwards, you voluntarily choose the guarantee variant, you guarantee the loans you refer and in return get a fixed agreed rate for your customers.

Which amounts and durations are possible?

Loans from CHF 1'000 to CHF 1'000'000 in steps of one franc, with durations from 1 to 60 months. That way the loan amount matches your invoice amount exactly.

Who decides on the loan?

Cashare alone, after the creditworthiness assessment and with a rating. This is required by law and takes the responsibility off your shoulders. Loans to private individuals are subject to the Consumer Credit Act.

Which industries is the programme suited to?

Schools and further-education providers, dental and medical practices, trade and construction firms, eBike and bike shops, furniture and interior retailers as well as solar and heat-pump installers. There are four financing products: education, renovation, trades and construction, and equipment financing from your own catalogue.

How long does onboarding take?

With Grow it starts immediately. With the other plans usually a few days, once the documents are complete: commercial register entry, authorised contact person, identification, IBAN and logo.
