Aria offers an embedded invoice financing platform that buys suppliers’ invoices and embeds financing via a single API into marketplaces, ERP systems, and vertical SaaS, enabling suppliers to be paid immediately while buyers retain usual payment terms. The platform handles identity checks, credit assessments, collections, insurance and payments, and adapts to local rules, currencies and payment methods across Europe. Since launching in 2020 it has financed over €1.5 billion in invoices and reports a default rate below 0.1%. Aria financed 1.7 million invoice advances in 2025 and over 1.1 million more so far in 2026, and currently powers more than 70 European B2B marketplaces and freelance platforms, including Malt and Job&Talent. The company plans to expand its presence in sectors with acute late-payment problems such as transportation, manufacturing and construction. Its positioning emphasizes embedding infrastructure (one API, no redirects or separate signups) to increase predictability of cash flow for SMB suppliers.
