Finom Launches Prime to Bring Premium Business Cards to Europe’s SMEs
Hey Digital Banking Fanatic!
Finom is expanding its European FinTech footprint with Finom Prime.
This is a new subscription-based business card designed for SMEs that have outgrown basic offerings but find traditional premium cards misaligned with their needs.
The product targets freelancers, micro-organisations, and growing SMEs that often juggle multiple cards to optimize transactions. Prime consolidates these use cases into one solution and can help businesses save up to €20,000 annually.
The package includes 1 percent cashback with a monthly cap, zero FX fees on non-EUR spend up to €20,000 per month, lounge access, an eSIM data package, and express delivery.
Finom has been steadily expanding its suite across Europe, adding AI Accounting in Germany, SME credit lines in the Netherlands, and integrated tax-payment features in Italy.
And earlier this year, the company raised $105 million from General Catalyst to accelerate SMB banking growth across Europe.
Stay tuned. I’ll be back in your inbox tomorrow with more movements shaping Digital Banking.
Cheers,
