About

Swan is the leading European fintech specialized in embedded banking. A laureate of the French government’s selective year list of tech champions, “French Tech Next 120,” we are rapidly expanding across Europe.

Over 100 European companies have integrated banking services such as accounts, cards, and payments into their products through our Banking-as-a-Service platform. This approach, known as “embedded finance,” enables businesses to enhance their offerings and generate new revenue streams — often tripling their revenue!

Our founders’ vision from the start was Simplicity: that anyone with a fintech idea at 2 am can visit our website, start building, and buy a coffee with a self-issued card the next day. That vision has driven our success.

Following a 42M€ Series B extension, we have doubled our headcount and now have over 280+ Swanees across offices in Paris, Bordeaux, Berlin, Barcelona, Amsterdam, and Milan.
