PYMNTS wrote that Alchemy also recently launched new funding software that small businesses can use.
This will be particularly useful in Latin America, which is working more on credit information infrastructure, allowing lenders and finance companies to underwrite small businesses by accessing credit history and booking transactions.
The system would handle lines of credit, installment loans, and income-based repayment structures.
Alchemy says it will cover “refunds, payment reminders, and collections modules to help lenders stay on top of their portfolio and their investment.”
