About

Swift is a San Francisco-based embedded finance platform — backed by Y Combinator (W24) with $2.34 million raised from 27 investors — enabling online merchants and e-commerce platforms to embed financial services (payments, lending, revenue-based financing, and working capital solutions) directly into their platform workflows through an API, removing the complexity of integrating multiple financial service providers for the buy-now-pay-later, merchant cash advance, and invoice financing products that increase merchant GMV and platform retention. Founded in 2023 by Rakeeb Hossain and David Lalor, Swift targets the embedded finance opportunity where $200 million in 2021 B2B embedded lending grew to an estimated $1.3 billion by 2026 as SaaS platforms and marketplaces increasingly offer financial products as a retention and monetization layer.
