Field operations specialist Zuper and consumer financing firm Wisetack are linking up based on the premises that consumers will appreciate not having to visit bank offices to borrow money and businesses will benefit from empowering their field agents to arrange financing.
Those desires are driven in part by the responses of consumers and businesses to inflation, the company’s stated in an announcement.
Wisetack Co-founder and CEO Bobby Tzekin said the timing is right because consumers are cutting back spending and managers are searching for ways to maintain revenue in such an environment. Wisetack stated that its APIs let companies integrate its borrowing offerings into software platforms so staff can easily offer them to customers.
Wisetack’s customers include companies that repair home appliances and do automobile repairs. PYMNTS reported last year that Wisetack had raised $45 million for expansion into new verticals.

The new arrangement, the announcement stated, will reduce “tedious juggling” by letting field service reps include tailored financing with invoices.
