SME merchant cash advance, AI-transformed

Advance against real card takings.

A merchant cash advance is repaid from future card revenue, so the card revenue is the risk. Credit Canary reads card settlements straight from the business account, confirms the trend, and sizes an advance that repays comfortably.

The card-revenue question, answered

The old way asks for statements. The AI way reads the settlements.

The old way
  • Card revenue taken from submitted statements
  • Seasonality and trend hard to verify
  • Slow, manual sizing of each advance
  • Repayment stress spotted late
The AI way
  • Card settlements read live from the account
  • Revenue trend and seasonality derived automatically
  • Advances sized on real, categorised takings
  • Repayment pace monitored against revenue
