Pepper Advantage and Clay Launch White-Label Lending Platform for Fintechs
Pepper Advantage and Clay announced a joint venture to launch a comprehensive white-label credit platform targeting fintechs and enterprise clients. The platform combines Clay's Debt-as-a-Service offering, which handles credit origination and funding, with Pepper Advantage's established loan management and servicing capabilities. Together, the solution covers the full lending lifecycle including origination, underwriting, servicing, and analytics.
The joint venture enables fintechs and non-financial enterprises to offer branded lending products without building or maintaining complex credit infrastructure. Pepper Advantage brings deep expertise in loan servicing across multiple European markets, while Clay contributes its technology-driven approach to debt capital and origination. The partnership addresses growing demand for embedded lending solutions among brands seeking to monetize customer relationships through financial products.
Specific financial terms and launch timeline details were not disclosed.
- Joint venture model for embedded lending signals maturing BaaS ecosystem where specialists combine rather than build end-to-end
