Credit Key is a financial technology company that provides businesses with net terms and a Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) solution tailored to business-to-business (B2B) transactions. The company offers a seamless credit extension service that allows customers to purchase goods and services immediately while paying for them in installments over a defined period. Credit Key aims to enhance purchasing power for businesses by offering flexible, risk-free financing solutions.
History
editCredit Key was founded with the mission to solve payment challenges in B2B transactions by offering flexible financing options traditionally available in the consumer market. The company was created to address the unique needs of businesses that require credit but may not have access to traditional lines of credit or wish to preserve their cash flow. The rise of e-commerce and the growth of BNPL services in the consumer sector inspired Credit Key’s model, but the company focuses on business buyers, allowing sellers to close deals more quickly by offering financing as a checkout option.
In 2020 Credit Key raised $33m from Greycroft, Bonfire Ventures, Loeb.nyc and other investors and raised another $115m in 2022. The company is headquartered in Los Angeles, California and was founded by John Tomich in 2016 who is the current CEO.
Services
editCredit Key's core offering is its BNPL solution, which is integrated into businesses' e-commerce platforms and sales processes, enabling buyers to finance large purchases and pay over time.
Key features of Credit Key’s services include:
- Instant Credit Approval: Credit Key uses proprietary algorithms and partnerships with credit bureaus to offer instant credit approval. Businesses can apply for credit and, once approved, immediately access funds for purchases.
- Flexible Payment Terms: Customers can choose from several repayment terms, typically ranging from 30 to 90 days or even longer, depending on the business arrangement. This flexibility allows businesses to manage their cash flow effectively while making necessary purchases.
- Risk-Free for Sellers: Credit Key takes on the credit risk, meaning that sellers receive full payment upfront, and buyers are responsible for fulfilling their payment obligations over time. This setup enables businesses to make sales without worrying about default risks from buyers.
- Seamless Integration: Credit Key integrates with a wide range of e-commerce platforms, including major shopping carts and B2B sales systems. This allows businesses to offer financing at the point of sale without extensive modifications to their existing infrastructure.
